I figure what sticks to a split stays on it for the fire.
Smells good too.

I never remove bark. But you can smoke a chicken with bark only or bark and minimum wood/charcoal to see if it imparts a bad flavor.

With a hot fire there is no bitterness...Most woods will be bitter if not burned properly with or without fire suit...

Exactamundo!!! If the wood is dry and you're getting a good draft through the cooker there shouldn't be any issues.:wink:

Doesn't hurt to do a quick cook with the bark on to see what it does...then go from there.
