Unless you are smoking something with it, why would you want to burn hickory?...

It has as much energy output as oak and you can cook a lot tastier with it on your pit.

agreed...I thought you were talking about wood to burn in a fireplace...

FWIW, pecan would work well for your purposes, too...and would be a lot easier to get...

This is my recommendation as well. Pecan is easy to come buy and IMO better to cook with than hickory.

Pecan and hickory are darn near the same wood.

You can find the occasional hickory tree in the Florida parishes. Usually the scaly bark hickory that looks very similar to a pecan.
