Full Fledged Farker
Picked up some pecan and cherry yesterday. All splits about 16 to 18 inches in length. The cherry measured an average of 12 to 13% moisture while the pecan was mostly in the 30% range. Needless to say I'll be letting the pecan age some more. But I did notice the pecan has a odd smell to it. It's rather strong and due to the moisture content I'm assuming it's probably just because it's relatively fresh. The fellow that sold the splits to me said the wood was aged approx. 6 months but it wasn't split 6 months ago just cut into log sections. Is anyone familiar with pecan and is this smell normal?
