    Saving a little bit of hickory for smoking wood. All bark removed and split down to about 10“ lengths 2x2". Also built a drying rack out of some scrap pallets.

    Now to let the drying begin.

    No I still have some left. Been a very wet spring, and the heat has been brutal this summer. About half of what's pictured here is left to split.

    I can just about imagine what it has been like in Arkansas. Brutal for sure.

    What will you be smoking?
