I have a huge pile of English Laurel. I know you can't smoke with laurel, but English Laurel is not a true Laurel, but related closely to the cherry tree. I'm almost certain it'll be great, but want some experienced input...any thoughts?

I can't help with that but wanted to say

Yes..PLEASE. Otherwise we'll think it killed you

The lilac you are refering to is that the Bush with the flowers or is there a tree you are talking about.

From everything I have ever heard you shouldn't use elm to smoke with and the only definitive answer as to why is because it smells like urine when you burn it

Yup, the big azz bush with the purple flowers, had completely forgotten (again) that I have some lilac sitting outside from a bush we took out 2 years ago that I have been wanting to test.

My coffee farm in Nicaragua obviously has coffee which is very hard. My coffee walking stick has taken a beating for the last 5 years and I can not break it (1 1/2 inch dia). I also have guava (exceedingly hard), almond, crab apple, mango, lemon/lime, and at least 6 other hardwoods. When I get my fridge smoker going, I suspect my favorite will be coffee and guava.

sage

Was wondering if I could use wood from sage brush? I am out in the dessert for a week or so and was wanting to pull the bench made out and put it to work

This is what I found on sagebrush..

Medicinal use and toxicity

Sagebrush essential oil contains approximately 40% l-camphor; 20% pinene; 7% cineole; 5% methacrolein; and 12% a-terpinene, d-camphor, and sesqiterpenoids.[31]

The plant's oils are toxic to the liver and digestive system of humans if taken internally, so care must be taken during any form of internal use. Generally, toxic symptoms will subside 24–48 hours after ingesting the plant.[32]

The Navajo used the vapors of sagebrush as a treatment for headache.[32][33] The Okanagan and Colville people used sagebrush to smoke hides.[34]

Among the Zuni people, an infusion of the leaves is used externally for body aches. The infusion is also taken as a cold medicine. It is also placed in shoes to treat athlete's foot, fissures between toes, and as a foot deodorant.[35]

Now there are many variety's but I'm sure you will end up with the same results.. Some good meat ruined
