I don't grow my own. I've tried a couple times and failed. When I need more, I ask my friend to go get it from his friend, who grows and smokes and grinds it. I've never actually met the guy.

    Don't have a lot of answers for you. I do a lot of cooking, so I'd guess the answer to why is that it adds a nice smoke flavor, like how you can buy smoked paprika, and that it would make for a fairly quick and easy drying process so it can be ground up. By the taste, I'd guess he just uses oak. If I got to pick, I'd say apple would be nice.
