Seasoned Post Oak in DFW?
Called up my go-to wood guy today only to find out he's no longer in the business. Before I found him, I wasted a lot of time meeting up with various Craigslist vendors. Anyone willing to share their source?

I cut lots of post oak because that’s all I have around my house. But it’s pretty abundant. You shouldn’t have trouble finding any other than it being so dang cold here lately people are buying lots of fire wood. I just cut a little over a rick hoping to use it come summer time. How much are you looking for?

I know it is not easy but I try to get where I will be buying wood in the summer and not running out in the winter. That way you don't need to compete with the fireplaces. I can't help on place as mine comes from Lampassas and I get it when I make weekend trips.
Another thing for those in TX who pick their electricity company - To save money on the cost per KWH get on a plan where you are signing up in the Fall or Winter and not heading into the summer. There is normally a big difference in the rates.

after just traveling through D/fW on our way to South Padre I fell in love with the trees I think are called "live oaks". Thick heavy trunks with a very beautiful evergreen symmetrical canopys. Is this the source of cooking wood called "post oak"?

Ed that would be a live oak. They are beautiful trees but a pain to split because their grain run so twisted. I like splitting post oak because it’s all straight mostly. I can split post oak prolly quicker with a maul than a hydraulic splitter.

Red oak is fine. Very abundant in East Texas where I'm from. Maybe a but more Smokey than post oak but not much.

Red oak is fine but as was already said it does tend to be a little "smokier" if that's a word. But, it is perfect for grilling.

I've also been told to look here (used to live in Dallas area). Regarding Red Oak, it's fantastic. It's my go to wood for Tri-Tip, or any type of steak. |

Another place you might check is Big Johns in Whisky Flats which is South of Benbrook. My Brookshires sells their smoking wood and it is pretty good.
