Dry wood smokes less, but any wood is going to smoke. Green wood has more moisture and sap & that makes it smoke more.
Best material is a dry hardwood such as oak, maple, birch. Avoid pine except as an initial firestarter. Damp wood will smoke alot. Old pallets are usually made of oak and are safe to use. Avoid most other processed wood, especially if it’s painted.
Pretty much any dry wood. Do not use plywood or painted wood. Pine burns fast and very hot so not good for marshmallows. If you use twigs and such from around the yard, just light them earlier so they will form coals and the smoke will be gone before use.
