Pecan sticks

Here ya go buZZsaw BRAD. 2/3 cord of pecan. Collected it from the pecan hoard yesterday. Split today.

 

sweet ..... this nay sound like a stupid question but bear in mind i got exp burnin pecan but how hot does pecan wood burn

 

Very nice

 

Nice load. Having never processed pecan, how does it smell? Like hickory? How does it split?

 

What part of Oklahoma are you from?

 

Has a very good smell. Kinda like hickory with its own notes. When it’s green is splits like crap. Really stringy almost like elm. When it’s dry it splits very nice like oak or ash.

 

Burns well. Not quite as hot as oak or ash but still very nice.

Muskogee here...

Is that a massive pile of noodles in the background?

 

New guy here, what are noodles?

 

Noodles are the slang term for the "chips" that a saw makes when you rip a round. Basically laying it on bark edge and cutting rather than cross cutting it. Commonly used on huge rounds or gnarly rounds that are tough to split.

 

Ahhh I ripped some noodles yesterday haha.

thanks Brad

 

Massive pile of noodles from same gnarly Norway maple i cut couple years ago. I dont have a splitter.

 

Yes sir! Had a bunch of huge ash and red oak rounds that were way to big to handle.

 

Welcome CJL, is that a Solo Stove/Firepit in your Avatar?

 

That is a solo stove, I have had it a few years now so it’s got a nice patina. Works well
