I have some well seasoned birch and I love the stuff. I think it's paper birch. I remove all the bark though because it's so oily and gives off nasty black smoke.

The taste of the birch smoke I find to be a bit 'dry' and salty not really fruity or nutty.

I did a butt + brisket cook recently mixed birch and mesquite. umm umm good. I mix it with apple or maple too.

I've never used Birch ... so you say it tastes a lot like a pretzel?

heh, yeah kinda

in fact, at the grocery store the other day I saw a new product, Birch and Maple smoked hams ... ingrediants list '...Natural Birch and Maple Smoke'

Maple Leaf Lump, highly rated by Naked Whiz, is made of Maple, Beech and Birch

Hate to agree with Greg, but he is right in my book on this one! And yes, go light. Lightly smoked is better tasting than overly smoked!
