Sugar cane question

That is interesting. You can use them as they are now for some interesting things - grind up some shrimp, add a little binder like bread crumbs, seasoning and mold portions of it around little sticks of sugar cane You would need to peel the sugar cane first, then cut it into maybe pencil thickness sticks or even as thick as a marker maybe. Smoke/grill until shrimp mixture is cooked, Kind of a sugarcane shrimp kabab.

I read that a dude on the Texas BBQ forum likes using green cane, especially on poultry. He said that he cuts them at the "nodes". He is an Egghead as well.

Frank uses them all the time and I think he told me he just puts them in the freezer till needed.

I've heard of this, never used as a smoking wood, but I know a guy who does/did. Like Mickey says, he kept them in the freezer, chunks were about same as most wood chunks, he cut them up with a pruning loper.
