Wood for smoking andouille sausage (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beech

(Other definitions for beech that I've seen before include "Deciduous tree with smooth grey bark" , "It has branches" , "Nut-bearing tree" , "Common forest tree" , "Copper or silver tree" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
