Goat willow flowers in smoker?

[thatcryptochick]

Hi all.

I’ve absolutely loads of these that have come off the goat willow tree in my garden.
Is it safe, after drying, to use them in the smoker?

Try anything. I use dried lavender and old egg boxes!

Try it and let us know.

Reckon it'll not be suitable for long-term smouldering, but good as a pre-fuel on top of the flaming egg box.

If it’s very dry you might want to mix it with something or put a good hand full of fresh grass on the top of it I do this every time I light mine as I use shavings it cools the smoke down well.
