Scott from Hartland, Wi writes

After Ferti-Lome Fruit Tree Spray is used on a fruit tree can the wood from the tree be used for a smoker?

Would this product be considered safe to use if I intend to use any cut branches from the tree as a smoking wood in my bbq? If not, can you recommend one that can be used with this in mind?

Answer:

You would not want to burn any wood that has been treated with Ferti-Lome Fruit Tree Spray with Neem Py or any other insecticide. The manufacturers do not recommend this.  Any insecticide should not be breathed in, and when burned these toxins can become airborne. It would be suggested to not burn the wood.
