I was looking at the firewood they sell at lowes to fuel my charcoal smoker but it doesnt really say what type of wood it is. Just says mixed hardwood. I would like to find some place that sells apple or hickory logs. But its kind of tough to find in my location. Thanks

I would guess back in the old days, they used what ever wood would burn…………..
NO, unless it specifically mentions cooking.
Often those are treated with chemicals to burn and not rot!!!! Not good for food.
for smoking, hickory is a very popular one. The best one I’ve ever used was burbon soaked sandlewood (I havn’t seen it for a while, try BBQ retailers), it added a beautiful flavour.
You can use any untreated wood for smoking, but every wood will give it’s own distinctive flavour.
One of my favourite smoking mixes (works very well with seafood) is 1 part rice, 1 part brown sugar, 1 part tea leafs & a couple of bay leaves & cinnamon sticks.
kingofth, Have no idea where you are to give you an informed answer, but i can say this. look at your big hardware outlets like home Depot and alike. If that doesn’t help with foil make up pouches with soaked smoking chips and add those to your logs in the smoker, or sit them on the bottom shelf of your smoker closer to the heat source.

As long as the wood is not chemically treated, it should do just fine. If it’s labeled “mixed hardwoods” you’ll find a lot of oak in there, which works pretty well - it’s nearly as aromatic as apple and hickory. Some specialty kitchen supply stores carry even more exotic hardwoods like mesquite chips…try some of that in your smoker. It produces smoked turkey, pork and salmon that is little short of heavenly! Mixed with oak, it still adds a special flavor to anything you do in the smoker…
