I have only seen small boxes of various species in the grocery store, but there must be a more economical source. thanks Tue Aug 18 06:45:34 -0700 2009 176294 dhs 1 4955682 In two years of searching, I haven't found a more economical source in the city that's open to the public. I picked up a couple of armloads of wood on the side of a road in PA for $4. It makes me realize how insane the prices are for those little baggies of chips. Perhaps it's worth a shot to ask some of the farmers at the Greenmarkets. Tue Aug 18 08:19:27 -0700 2009 4955393 13402 Joe MacBu 1 4955687 I've bought wood chunks for smoking on ebay.

Will be running by a Home Depot later to see if maybe they had a misguided purchaser for NYC.

Maybe during the winter would be better. Thu Aug 20 20:15:37 -0700 2009 4955393 14468 Geo8rge 2 4964916 Why not? Fri Aug 21 06:16:32 -0700 2009 4964370 11503 jakeyd 3 4965045 yeah, wondering that myself. Already did this in brooklyn, and plan to do it again soon. Fri Aug 21 06:59:30 -0700 2009 4964916 176294 dhs 4 4965077 Yeah I could see a problem with someone doing it on the fire escape or something, which is illegal anyway, but I've been using backyard smokers in Brooklyn for almost ten years. Fri Aug 21 07:07:30 -0700 2009 4965045 11503 jakeyd 1 4966927 You might want to make sure the bags of wood being sold in NYC is pure wood and not left-over wood for furniture.
