I finally got some white oak. I am shocked at how wonderful it smells while splitting. It smells sweet, almost like wine and I cannot wait for it to get seasoned and try it. It smells so good, I would like to split a piece of the heartwood and and bring it inside just to smell it.
Does anyone know if it would lose its flavoring when kept for years? I have access to a lot of it and would like to take advantage of it. But I have never kept wood for a long time for smoking. I have a large area where I can store it under cover but still exposed to the wind and some sun as you can see. I also put pallets down to keep it off of the ground. I am just concerned that it may dry out too much if stored for years.
A guy roughly 1.5 miles from me recently logged a huge property, and there are an incredible amount of large white tree oak tops. I could wear myself out storing it and put it to good use if it will last. Has anyone ever burned really old seasoned wood?
Thanks
