smokewood

Wood for smoking

Smokewood is wood used specifically for smoking food, chosen for the flavor it imparts when burned.

Different woods produce different tastes: hickory and mesquite are strong, apple and cherry milder.

I picked up some smokewood for the brisket.

The term also refers to certain tropical trees whose wood smokes readily when ignited.
