I guess this as good a place as any to ask: where do y’all get your splits?
I’ve got a COS that I’d like to start toying around with. I know meathead says just use charcoal in it, but what fun is that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I typically buy mine from firewood suppliers that actually sell seasoned wood....many around here try to pass off green wood as seasoned. If your COS is small enough you can run it with charcoal then itll probably use fairly small splits....at least not fireplace sized. You may be able to buy the bags of logs from the hardware store and hand split them down to the thickness you're after. All the bagged wood is kiln dried so you shouldnt have to worry about smoldering issues due to being too green. But bagged wood is a very "fiscally inefficient" way to buy wood as well.

We go to woodyard in KC to get pecan and it's also a crap shoot if it's seasoned or not. Since it's a clearing house they only know how long they've had the wood.

I'm in as well. Stick burning/ fire management is the manual transmission of the bbq world! If you can do it, you can run pretty much anything.

Almost all the wood I've ever bought there has been way too green to use for quite a while. I stopped going because it was out of the way for me and I never found anything ready to burn.

Wish the backyard was still that green!

My poor old stickburner has been covered up for years now.
Desperate to refurb it, but "time". Maybe a new thread will give me some inspiration.

According to a poll conducted on this site starting March 2016, offset smokers are the third most popular type of outdoor cookers among the Brethren...with almost 39% owning one. So I would say an official thread is certainly warranted!

I like to keep a few bags of kiln dried around. It's good for start up or when maybe your coal bed has died out or you just need some quick flames for whatever reason. I find it often comes in handy. I tried to use it to run my pit. It works but it burns quick. Not ideal if you dont want to babysit. Might be OK if you were doing a comp where you will be standing there 10' away anyway. |
