apple wood

Fruit tree lumber

Apple wood is wood from apple trees, prized for smoking and grilling meats.

It burns slowly and imparts a mild, slightly sweet, fruity flavor—milder than hickory or mesquite.

Apple wood–smoked bacon is a common product.

The wood is also valued by woodworkers for its fine grain and warm color.
