    I had no idea...

    "Raspberry Jam (also known as Jam Wattle or Acacia acuminata) is a highly prized Australian native hardwood. It gets its name from the distinctive, sweet aroma the timber emits when freshly cut, which strongly mimics the scent of raspberry jam."

    Also highly prized for cooking and smoking, some serious BTU to!

    That sounds like something you wouldn't be smelling; you might be licking it! Whipped cream might even improve it.
