Where to buy wood "DUST" in the USA

Post by Mark » Tue Jan 22, 2013 06:13

As the subject says, I'm looking for some suggestions as to the best place in the US to buy an "alder wood DUST" for a little cold smoking maze I just purchased. Any helpful tips would be appreciated. Thanks

I am not looking for chips, but for the dust of alder wood. Thanks

Hi Mark,
I've had a lot of luck with an outfit in Seattle, Washington. They are reasonable, quick, and their inventory is astonishing. I know you're in Florida and it may not be practical for you to order from Washington state but you may wish to look over their prices and selection. It's called: Barbeque-Wood.com

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill! :D

I could only find shops in Europe (UK) so Seattle is highly desirable for me. Thank you!

In a pinch, you could use pellets. Wet them and they will fall apart then dry them.

Here's the American source for the type of fine smoldering dust that you're looking for:

He makes a very high quality maze smoker.

Ahhh... wish I would've found that site before I ordered the maze from this site here Yours looks like it might be a little better built than the one I ordered through the US option. Thoughts??

Yes, I've used both, the A-Maze-N is much better built.
Spot-welding perforated stainless steel.
Godspeed!

The source I use is just on the edge of Milwaukee. They sell in larger bags.They supply mostly commerical sausage makers.

The Frantz Co. sawdust is very coarse and doesn't work well, if at all, in a maze smoker.
You'll definitely want the get the fine powdered dust from A-Maze-N.
Godspeed!

The texture of sawdust depends upon the saw from which it comes. Mills cutting green timber make big chips My band saw cutting dry wood make true dust. My table saw with 24 teeth on a 10 inch diameter blade makes coarse particles. My belt sander makes powder.

No doubt!

The fine sawdust for the maze smokers is produced in large quantities with a hammer mill.
Godspeed!
