For those that have a stick burner and a charcoal cooker, do you have separate piles of splits and chunks or do you cut your chunks from the splits?
I was thinking of buying a miter saw to cut chunks, but mostly because I think I would use it more for secondary purposes like cutting angle iron. Also Franklin's intro on his vid had him doing it too :heh:
I'm currently working my way through my original stash of wood chunks that I had a wood guy cut for me. They were pricey and drying fast in the summer heat.
I'm still using the truck bed full of pecan i bought 3 years ago. Only cost $40 but in sure that guy has figured out that he can get a lot more money now. He said it was mostly limbs that he couldn't sell... I'll be cutting my own soon from my splits.
I Keep them in trash bags. Are you measuring inside after you split?Three years ago? And the limbs are not dried out? The splits I left behind on my Bandera trailer shows anywhere from 2-5% moisture compared to 25-35% on the oak I just got two weeks ago. The one on the trailer was from last year and sat in the farking Texas heat all of this year.

I thought you were supposed to split a stick and measure the inside? I would think the outside would give a false reading.Just the ends where it's mostly flat.
Green but with proper draft it will burn properly. I've used green wood in my shirley with no issues.So is 35% considered green? That's what I have been throwing in to the BBC.
