Wood Question
Does it matter what type of oak to use as a fuel source? Asking, because I have about 5 acres of wooded land (mostly oak) and was thinking about dropping a tree or two to use in my char-griller off set smoker. I also noticed that our Lowes sells bundled wood. It just says "hardwood" on the label, but it also says campfires, cooking, ect. Can I use this wood in my smoker? Can I use this wood for fire and the packaged "chunk" wood (Hickory, Mesquite, Apple, etc) for the smoke flavor???

Seriously though, most oak is very good for smoking, but they do have different flavor profiles. What type of oak do you have there Lockon?

Bundled hardwood is good for warmth, and cooking when providing heat to a cast iron pot or skillet....but since it is a mix, you have no control over he smoke flavor imparted to your BBQ offerings.

Oak will work just fine.Just make sure it's has been seasoned for several months.
