I have seen a few cooking shows with the chefs smoking various meats and fish with hay. I was wondering if anyone has tried using hay and how it turned out. I've smelled burning hay and I'm just not sure about it on my food.  Also worried about fertilizers or insecticides used on the hay or someone selling you the hay that the cows bedded down on for the night.
if you kick me when I'm down you better pray I don't get up.

There are chef's that use certain type's of hay's for smoking.  Fresh cut is the best they say.  For me I'll stick to my cherry wood or apple, or maple or hickory wood chips.  Not even going down that road.  good luck.
