That's what I was figuring.. As for smoke and ashes, don't eat the stuff so it has never really mattered to me... lol

People do get mad at me when I take it and add it to turkey brine though.. They always say to buy the cheap stuff and give them the real deal.. Usual response is get off your lazy bum and make your own.. Kinda the same response when I make up venison jerky or find a boat load of morels in the spring..
