pics added to identify wood from new contact
Called a local tree removal/trimming company. Ask if they had any wood. Was told they contract with a mulch company. I told her that I was looking for some fruit or nut tree wood for cooking, and she put me on hold. Back on the line to tell me to stop by and check out their wood pile, and ask for Rick in the shop. He told me pick out what I want, except for the "owner's" pile. He pointed me to some pecan, and possible oak. I was pressed on time, so threw a few logs in the truck. Now I need to positivly identify the wood. They had some pecan tree bases about 3-4 feet across, 2 feet tall. Would make some impressive chunks/splits. Maybe chainsaw itno wedges like slicing a pie. They split or chunk with a power saw. I'd say a couple hundred pounds each. (2-3 of them).
So the moral is, make sure you tell them it's for cooking. You might get a different answer. I'll take the shop/office some Q next week, and keep checking back.
