Wood

[Pstores]

All right I am going to cut up some wood and also from a friend that has been seasoned for a year. My question is...... Do you cut off the ends that the chainsaw went through? Or does the oil from the saw disapate with time? I am new to stick burning,,,,,

 

[SoHappy]

Never have. Don't know.

How much oil are you talking about?

 

[Pstores]

Just the oil off the chainsaw bar...

 

[Fwismoker]

Oh crap you could even smoke the sawdust for cold smoking fuel....the minute amount of oil is nothing so the splits is definitely nothing to concern yourself with. Cut the wood, smoke and enjoy.

Ok thanks I figured that..... But thought I would ask. I cut the ends off my cherry splits that was cut with a chainsaw.... I won't worry about it anymore.

Oh God.... I may not sleep for two weeks. I've got to find a local lab that can analyze the amount of chain oil that is embedded in the ends of my splits. While I'm at it, I will get them to determine the amount and aging quality of the residual fat and grease left on my grates that is not scraped away by my wire grate brush. LOL

I guess at times we all tend to overthink things. Good smokin' to everyone, Joe
