The smell of fruitwood

[Cliff H.]

I am burning off a round of lump to give my barrel a bit of a cleaning and I decided to throw a couple of chunks of mayhaw in so I could take a wiff and see what to expect.

It is still a little green as I could hear moisture sizzling as it burned but the general smell is " TANGY".

Is that how most berry producing fruit woods smell ?

Beats me? But whatever you do don't throw off some cedar branches in there unless you got mosquitos!

Ronbeaux is that right that cedar will get rid of the mosquitos?

Well I might be fibbing a little, but it sure as heck ran me off.

Yeah, but it takes a long time, swatting them one at a time with a cedar branch.

There are 10 of them and they are over a 100 years old. So next time mosquitos get bad I will cut a branch and let the wife fan me. Sounds good to me. Here is pic of the trees.
