Pimento wood

So I was on horseback ride a couple years ago and met the guy who owns Pimentowood.com he is based out of Minneapolis her sells chunks, chips and I think whole off his website and on amazon

Thanks takinitslow. I believe that's where we'll order it from.

I have ordered from pimentowood.com and received chunks, chips
and also a ziplock bag of allspice berries along with some directions in a burlap bag.
I would order again.

You can go through that trouble and expense if you want to. But if the purpose is for smoking chicken or pork, why not just use apple? I've tried both and there's no difference in flavor I can detect, and around here in NH anyway there are apple orchards all over the place where you can go and pick up a trimmed off branch to take home and chop up. It's when you start using hardwood like oak where you start noticing a difference in flavor. Try dried apple soaked for an hour in water and make sure your marinade recipe has plenty of allspice and thyme.

Thanks for the input, JaBinky. Can't hurt to try it!

Applewood works great for smoking chicken. It will not overpower like a Mesquite or Hickory would.

I have been making jerk chicken for years using apple wood and other fruit woods but it was never quite the same as in Jamaica, Until I bought pimento wood from Pimentowood.com. I go & buy directly from him as he is located in the Twin Cities. They also carry jerk sauce, scotch bonnet jelly and other items very reasonably priced. JMO
