when your smoking fish can you use fresh leaves, say pohutakawa etc ? or do you really need to be using sawdust ?

i was thinking some good old manuka dust with a few leaves thrown in...would it be all good ?

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

I sometimes cut a young branch of Tea Tree and put it on top of the saw dust. Particularly if I've not got much saw dust left

Try the dry flower heads off the Pohutekawa once they have droped the bloom and hardened up, loads of oils in the heads for a great flavour. Can also use ground pepper, cumin etc for an exotic spice up. Mix a bit in with the saw dust.  Good eating. F.T.
