Sure that's not a Coastal Live Oak, Quercus agrifolia? Red Oak is non native and would not require permits to remove or trim. Just sayin'.
I hope Live Oak wood is good for smoking with, as that is what I have lots of available.
I like oak with everything. A lot of people will say brisket for sure, but ribs are my personal favorite with oak. But it will work well with anything.
:clap2: Congratulations on that load of oak. I am sure that it is not all that easy for ya'll to find it way over there. After looking at your pics, I went out to my shed to compare. I am sure that it is not live oak, but it looks a lot like the red oak that I have on hand. No matter, like has been said already, it's oak and it will smoke fine. Though, I'm guessing most of that will be going in the WFO when it is seasoned.
I just split this open for a closer look.
