Hello!
Alright, with the anticipation of my BS Smoker coming in Sept...I'm thinking wood.
I've found someone here in the NOLA area that will deliver, saying it is aged wood...choices of oak, hickory, walnut, etc...I think even mesquite?
Anyway....His large orders are 18" splits, 3x4x8. stacked.
NOW...is it best to get some sort of wood rack to hold this off the ground, and end plates to hold in a nice stack?
I'm trying to figure where the heck to put this...not much room under my patio cover anywhere and a bit worried about having against the house (although it is brick outside)...due to our friend in New Orleans...the Formosan Termite.
Nasty little buggers....can eat through almost anything...and do at times.
Anyway, if ya'll have some recommendations and links to good stands, I'd greatly appreciate it.
At this time, since I don't have the smoker, and it has a rather large firebox, I'm going to just go with his usual 18" splits and see how it goes....although he does seem to offer to cut them shorter...

Anyway...also, do you keep your wood covered? If so....with what? Did you buy a cover?
So, I'm trying to figure where and how to store my wood...I'm looking for any suggestions, especially if you have very limited covered area for it....or have to keep it out in the open yard.
Thank you in advance,
cayenne
