New here and just curious about leaving the bark on wood. I've read different thoughts and have been doing my best to get it off before adding to the fire. Am I wasting my time? Thanks
I leave the bark on all the wood.

At about 1:17 I mention my treatment of wood. I usually split wood to arm size anyway and in the process separate the bark or outer sections to start the fire but put on heartwood during the rest of the smoke.
I don't always do this and sometimes throwing a big log on bark and all is fine. It depends on your smoker and fire... which is the pitmasters call.
NOTE: This was part A of a TEST of the BBQ Stoker Fan for endurance using a vulgar amount of wood to show the new 25 CFM blower would do the job. I do not pack my firebox like that.
Nice video > I do not recall any of it being about brisket though
I am wondering if you just add wood with your charcoal, do it really matter, but if you are a stickburner it would make a difference,,,,,,,,
when I use my WSM, I don't bother
