Shag Bark Hickory vs Smooth Bark Hickory
I'm relatively new the stick burner game... and I have the drop on a load of Shag Bark hickory through a local co auction. It will be significantly cheaper than the nearest wood yard I have found that sells hickory.
Is shag bark hickory similar to the smooth variety as far as flavor? Does the bark need to be removed? Teach me the ways! |

Regardless of whether it is common shag or smooth bark (commonly known around here as shell bark). Hickory Is a great straight grained wood that is easy to cut, split and stack. When properly cured, it is excellent to cook with. However, be sure the splits are fully cured before trying to smoke with it, green hickory can impart a bitter flavor.

Had a Brethren not long ago claim that "wood was wood"- exception being Mesquite. Pretty sure you are good.

I use the shag bark for quick grilling, it don't take much and gives a great flavor, and I mean just the bark ,the wood will cook the same , add the bark when the meat is on the grill, too much will get your taste buds tingling lol. I go squirrel hunting and If I pass a tree I peel some off.

Hickory is hickory as far as I'm concerned. Oak is a different story-we don't like red oak much in NC
