Question about grapevines

bigpayne · Newbie Joined: 13 Feb 2008 Posts: 70 Location: Hartford Ky

The only grapevines I realy have access to around here are wild grape vines. They get up to 3 to 4 inches at the base and go way up in the trees.
Will these work and if so do they need to be seasoned?

Thanks for your help

GOOD LUCK!

What kind of meats are grape vines good for? I live in the wine region around here( some good wines and some not so good) but I have a brother-in-law that can get me all the grape vine I could use it's free so I'll use it if I can.

Grape vine's good for most "white" meats: chicken pork, fish, frog legs, etc.

It's too mild for beef, venison, or duck

thanks for the info I'll have to wait a little while befor I can use the vines that I can get this spring, but the more I get into the smoking the more I see that you need time, time and more time. I guess that's part of the fun because beer goes good when you have time and after the beer the food is done.
