maherussell Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I know Tamarind is used for cooking and for making charcoal. So my questioned can probably answered by Dennis. I just cut a very large Tamarind tree and wondered if the dried wood would be good for smoking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mguerra Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Re: Tamarind There is one good way to find out! Try it on some inexpensive chicken or burger as a trial and report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just cut a very large Tamarind tree and wondered if the dried wood would be good for smoking? It makes great charcoal,, One of the more popular ones here in Indonesia. I don't know how I forgot it when testing smoking woods,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maherussell Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Re: Tamarind I guess I will take the advice of testing. It will be a little while before I post a result as I have to let this stuff dry. One thing I can say is, it is very dense and not easy to cut without a chain saw.
