Roy Perez of the New Kreuz Market standing in his woodpile.

Ignore that one billet in the pile and discuss what Popdaddy means to get through to you guys that have questions about wood, wood size and bark.

This is of course a best case scenario.

Discuss the merits of this pile.

Where does the smoke flavor of wood come from ? Bark? Heart wood ?

Do you have any good pics of your rotisse. I have a friend who is looking for ideas for a build.

Elvis isn't dead........he is just lost in a wood pile. :shock:

 

[Desert Dweller]

Poopdaddy, WTF a poopdaddy?

 

[Skidder]

Roy's got wood!

Looks like Post Oak to me. Based on the size of it, I would use the bark and all. It looks very well seasoned.

 

[Midnight Smoke]

That is a bunch of wood!

 

[Arlin_MacRae]

Although it's certainly true that da man's got wood, I wouldn't say he can teach us everything we need to know about wood and bark - that's all the same KIND of wood!

poopdaddy = a daddy that poops a lot because he Q's with bark on his wood:wink::!:

 

[jestridge]

They sure have small wood in Texas

You would be correct.

I don't know if it is the bark or the wood, but after eating at Kreuz's, Smitty's and Black's, post oak is now my favorite smoke wood. Much better than red or white oak in my opinion.

Lots of wisdom in the brethren. Betta act like y'all know though! It's a freezer burn compared to cool.

 

[Bentley]

Looks like a whole mess of creosote and pain to me...:icon_sick
