Homemade Sausage Making

If you live in a region where the utility company has to keep the trees cut along the right of way you can collect an abundance of fine wood when they are finished with their work. Also the local arborists are hired to remove trees from around homes and they will gladly tell you what species they are cutting and will give you as much as you can take.

Nice Tip Ross. But only useful if you don't use a Bradley!

I don't believe that this is a Bradley:

It may be a little past prime time, but fruit orchard owners trim their trees in mid winter. A lot of fruit woods are good for smoking and they'd be happy to exchange your work cleaning up, in exchange for the wood.
