Manzanita produces a smoke flavor that has been compared to hickory, but without the overbearing flavor that hickory is known for.
I often cook over a bed of manzanita coals. I have had great results grilling steaks, oyster mushrooms, fish, and using it in the smoker for venison jerky.
Manzanita is known for burning very hot. It’s long lasting bed of coals produces plenty of radiant heat for cooking, or add a small amount to your gas or charcoal grill to add its delicious smoke flavor to your BBQ or smoker.

I highly recommend manzanita wood for smoking. I am lucky enough to have manzanita growing on my property in SoCal. I use nothing else for grilling/smoking meat at the ranch. I use standing stalk wood that has been dead for at least 2 years. It looks like this product.
Manzanita grows like a large bush, if you haven’t seen one. I start with an oak base of coals (also abundant on the property) and add 6 inch sections of water-soaked manzanita on top when I start the meat. It is cooked indirectly. I suppress any fires that light up by dampening the air flow. Strong yes, but if you want to taste the smoke – dusky and deep within the meat, this is the wood to use. I smoke catfish, chicken and pork with it, mostly, but it is great with beef, too. Buy it! (Next experiment – making my own manzanita Bradley bisquettes for use in the city.)
