WinonaRail's Wood Yard

Nope, he wishes he had some...

 

Me too. Have a guy lined up for three bundles and he asked for pecan.

 

I had a few pieces of spruce bucked so I got them split after the rain yesterday. I do quantities of approximately 1/8 cord of soft woods for campers in the summer.

No such luck. Hoping T.Jeff Veal will come to visit someday. I added honey locust smoking wood earlier this summer.

 

Yes I do!

 

Ive heard of HL being used for smoking. I have some three year old stuff in the stacks.

Current pending order guy asked for pecan.
Late this week PU. The two bundle guy finally came yesterday. Young "kid" who was rather picky about length. Needs real shorts. Sold him apple chunks and a bundle of hickory cut into thirds. I told him I'll put apple shorts aside for him to entice a future sale. Hey its all in the marketing.

Maybe if you and I place a bulk order for pecan T.Jeff Veal will discount the shipping fee?

 

TJ would have about a 1,300 mile trip.....one way!

 

We've hauled pecan all the way to the border in MI and back to Ohio, hauled some to PA twice...
If somebody......came to a GTG, PECAN is usually available...

 

Maybe I need to host a G2G just to get some pecan wood??

 

That does it...you're cordially invited to jo191145's next get together!

 

Finally getting to your question. I'm really not great at identifying trees. I only found 2 leaves left. Would that be red maple? I got a start on it tonight. Ended up with almost 1/4 cord. I'd estimate probably 2/3 cord when processed.

If the round in the first pic is from the same group im pretty sure its sugar maple. More pics of the bark will confirm.

Its what i sell as smoker wood.

 

Or ya'll come to MI/OH/PA GTG.
Lol

 

It's definitely maple. And it's separate from my bulk wood. All my hard maple that splits nice is sold for smoking wood. I have a few customers that really like it.

 

I recommend it as cooking wood besides oak. One smoker customer bought an 1/8 cord of it besides the bundles.

 

Any sales of it yet?

 

I recommend it as well because it's worth about $600/cord loose (substantially more bagged). I'll take that over mixed hardwoods any day!

 

Just one so far. That was back in December. I only keep one bag in the stand and make new ones as needed.

 

I have 2.5 cords of the stuff. Half cord that's 3+ years dry, another cord that's a year old and a cord from April.

I sold a cord a couple years ago that was three years dry and got a decent premium then. The half cord I'll try and do the same. The others ill dry for another couple years. How long do you dry it for? I've heard multi year is ideal for HL.

 

Maybe I'll add it to my listings. I've never had a request for it though.

Still trying to sell more pear!

Have a guy pending PU of three bundles tomorrow night.
