beechwood

Smoker's flavoring lumber

Beechwood is wood from the beech tree, a hardwood valued for its strength, fine grain, and pale color.

It's commonly used in furniture, flooring, and kitchen utensils: a beechwood cutting board, beechwood-smoked bacon.

The wood burns hot and clean, making it popular for smoking foods and firewood.
