<pre>Hello,

My question is with the olive wood. I read recently that it is used in
Greek cooking and adds a wonderful flavor to meats. When I asked this
question to someone else this was the response:

I'd be careful. Olive fruits are toxic until they've been properly
processed. I would assume that whatever makes the fruits toxic might be
present in the wood to some degree.

Most folks who barbecue in lands warm enough to grow olives in seem to
prefer touse grapestocks instead.


Can you use the wood for barbecue/smoking/cooking meat?
