Did they get the split wood moved yet? Guessers are calling for a week of rain coming up.

Been cleaning up some of the field for fire wood lately. Cherry and persimmon mixed together smell great in the wood stove. I think the combination makes the cherry sweeter smelling. Need to figure out a way to chip it with what I have around here for smoking. Drying the pecan chips I picked up from the splitting day for smoking wood.

Good morning.

Got a fair amount done yesterday, not quite as much as I would have liked.... but that's normal.

@Hedgerow look out if he sees how it is now his creativity may lead him to how to bust it again, lol

Not sure.
They were talking about it last Saturday, but I’ve not checked.

 

[Hedgerow]

There’s still about 30 logs left.

I’ll probably just buy them too if they don’t get em sold in the next month.

It’s still broke..
And still splitting.

The last 2 weeks, I’ve been burning 2 year old Pecan.. it burns hot..
guess it needs extra dry time, cuz even 6 month old pecan don’t burn for *s-word.
The 2 year mark is where it actually becomes useful. Till then, YUK.

Saving this hedge log for Thomas.
Bout 22-23” diameter and 12 foot long.
See that bark? Those are special. When you see that weave, the inside grain do the same thing.

Thought about milling it, but I’d rather watch Thomas split it..

In my experience, those are a good time…

Thomas will really appreciate your generosity.

According to the FHC drying chart, 2 years is recommended drying time on Pecan.

I have never been around the stuff.

Every year I have a couple people ask for pecan & mesquite for cooking wood but there just isn’t any around here. They will have to be content with cherry, hickory & mulberry.

I can’t even find a hickory tree around here.

Anyone interested in in mesquite flavor, just use dead, backless, hedge limbs in the smoker.
Or little coins from a 2-3” limb. Must be bark free, dead and dry.

I've found white oak to be a reasonable substitute for Mesquite. I'm just swimming in Oak & Hickory here. About 6 variations of each.

Thank you,

I have plenty of 6”-16” barkless stuff but no little stuff.

I will do some scrounging around to find a few & have them try it out.
