Yup. I have 2 smokers. One that burns full splits and a barrel smoker that I use charcoal and chunks in. For the splits, if they are not fully...
I looked at the price that they sell at Home Depot for and I just basically matched that on a larger scale. take some pictures and post it to...
I have the wood, stacked in a holder under loose tarps in the backyard. Got plenty in stock that is ready to burn, so not too concerned about...
See that the thing, I want it for the smoker. We have gas logs (blame the wife - something about safety and children? Haha), so I do not have much...
Been a while since I last posted, but wanted to share this awesome score that I came across, 1.5 miles from my house. A guy had an oak tree taken...
As promised, here are some photos of the split logs. splitting is a little more of a process for me as I also remove the bark and then break it...
I went back and got several more, even after someone else had picked through the pile. I really tried to get one of the large rings, but at 3 ft...
I'm gonna take my wheel barrow today to get the larger pieces up the hill. Now that I know better!
I'm going back for more today. Friends challenged me to take the larger rounds and make a stump table. Sizes are perfect for a try and if it...
As soon as I open the fence to the backyard I knew the smell was 100% cherry. Hauled as much as I could by myself and into my Tahoe (should have...
Will do!

You know, when I looked at it longer, I was thinking cherry too!
Location northern Virginia. I found this on next door. I have primarily interested for my wood meat smoker so the idea of the wood is important to...
Alder...a wood I wish I could get access to! I've resorted to using cherry, apple and peach for salmon and other fish - but most recipes call for...
Yeah, if the wood is too wet, it just sits there and smolders - not the best. I tried using 3 month seasoned red oak last summer to do a brisket...
Broke down half of the cherry today, cutting it in half, then splitting it. Finally, remove the bark using the press. It is a more tedious...
Man, you were not kidding about how gnarly this Silver Maple was to split. Good thing I have the hydraulic splitter now because I would have...
Nah, doesn't really make sense in our current house, but hopefully one day. Main reason I started hoarding was because I got into smoking brisket...
Sadly, I'm the only one with a car worth using to scrounge. And with me being in the burbs, my chances of a score are much higher anyway. Also...
