    Good work and nice pics as usual bogydave !

    Remember how you've always "pined" for some shagbark hickory? Well, you sure "wood" enjoy burning it. The stuff I got 3 years ago is finally ready and there have been a couple pieces already sacrificed!

    verb (used without object), pined, pin·ing.
    to yearn deeply; suffer with longing; long

    Thanks
    Yea, was back East a few years ago,
    Brought some hickory limbs back in suitcase
    All used it up in the smoker.
    Hurts me to buy 1 lb bags of hickory chips for smoking,
    but it & apple are my favorites.

    I actually enjoy burning and save the bark for fire starting. Smells great!
