Texas Wood
Looking for a good supplier of Pecan and / or Apple for a stick burner near or around the Dallas/Ft Worth Metroplex.
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Also - as I've not done much stick burning, always used chunks, do you all knock the bark off? Thanks, Gerry

Just go South and East for pecan. East and Southeast Texas is loaded with pecan trees. Spring storms are coming. There should be plenty of pecan wood available soon in East and Southeast Texas.
Apple will be harder to find in Texas. As for bark, if it is falling off naturally, knock it off. If it is solidly stuck to the wood, leave it. CD |

Found some sellers on Craig's List just a little worried about the quality.

Depends on how much and how big of sticks you need. If you are looking at a good supply, you can get it at Arnold Brothers in Irving. They supply a lot of the big BBQ restaurants. If you just need a couple of bags with smaller sticks you can pick those up at Kroger or Academy.
As far as Apple or other fruit wood, those you are going to have to buy in a bag and be ready to spend some $$$ on them. That is why I normally cook with pecan and hickory.

That is what I have heard and the very reason I'm not fond of the idea either.

although I found an excellent supplier on CL in my area, it was suggested to me when I was looking to contact some places in your area that use wood fired ovens, like pizza joints, and ask them where they get their wood from.

I leave the bark on when I smoke.

I'm up in Wylie. I don't mind a drive though to go get wood. I'll be buying probably $100 - $200 at a whack.

For those with Jambo sized pits or with similar fireboxes what length / thickness do you use.
