Recently had a discussion about wood. Wet or Dry- Let me know which you use and why.....
I use dry chips under the charcoal basket of my UDS. Falling charcoal bits smolder in the chips. I would use chips but everytime I buy a used smoker I always get a pile of different wood chips and now I have a chitload of them. Might as well use em up.
Dry- unless I'm using alder, then I prefer the wood green.
When does green wood become dry?
When does green wood become dry?
The reason I ask is that there is a 25 foot pecan “stump” in the back yard. It really should be used for better things, like bbq. Would it be good to go freshly cut or should it dry out?
In my opinion, cutting the logs to length and letting them season whole is the way to go. Split them as needed. The wood will stay in better shape that way with no risk of it getting mildewed and stinky. I ruined almost half a cord of Pecan using improper seasoning technique.
