Hello all!!
Ok, I finally got in touch with a wood guy in the New Orleans area.
His basic wood he delivers, is something he called "Pin Oak".
Has anyone heard of this? Is it good for smoking?
The basic prices for a cord (as I understand it this is 3x4x8) of 18" logs is:
$680
3x4x4 is:
$400
Now, he says he has Post Oak and Red Oak...along with Pecan and Cherry wood those are an extra $50 per 4x4
Hickory is an extra $125 per 4x4
So, trying to figure out what I want.
In the past, I'd pretty much smoked exclusively with hickory...sometimes mixing with mesquite.
I'm not sure I know what oak BBQ tastes like...I'm guessing milder than hickory?
I was toying with getting half hickory and half Oak....but is "Pin Oak" good? Should I pony up for the Post Oak...I hear that's what's prevalent in central TX these days....
Anyway, looking for wood advice....do these prices seem reasonable? This is delivered and stacked.
I was planning to order and get this in August, in preparation for smoker delivery in Sept.
Thank you everyone in advance!!
