I see one choice at Academy. That’s $15 for a cubic foot of cherry. I guess I might use two of those in a brisket smoke, so that’s not a horrible price, I guess.

So oak isn’t too strong for, say, chicken or salmon?

I would love to get some pecan. I’ll trade you some beer if you like. I’m availalable any day, any time. Thanks!

Wood for smoker

Posted by AUtransplant on 11/9/20 at 8:09 pm
I plan on buying an Oklahoma Joe Highland offset smoker. Can’t afford better. But I won’t pull the trigger until I know I can find wood. Oak is plentiful piled at the streets, but what about hickory, pecan, apple, or mild flavorful woods? I see them online at exorbitant prices. And do I need to buy an Abe Lincoln starter set with wedge, axe, etc? I think the standard width of wood by cord is 20 inches. My firebox will be a hair over one foot square. I understand people use “splits” that fit. Chunks won’t get it. I have a pickup truck. I’m able-bodied. Any suggestions or barter offers would be appreciated.
