Wood question

Usually six months is workable,although some suppliers dry a year ahead.

Seems like our citrus takes less time ,as do some of the fruitwoods.

Try some on a chicken and test it.

We have some cooks that use a good bit of green citrus and green hickory with charcoal and they claim it works.

My recent experience with cherry:

I have some 12" diameter logs sliced 3" thick from a live tree cut about a month ago. Split a few chunks and tried them immediately and it took a very long time to get smoking and didn't produce much smoke. Left 'em in my garage and tried another few chunks last nite and they acted pretty much like normal. I'd say in another month they'll be perfect. My experience with maple has been similar.

Trick is to cut or split into the size pieces you'll use in the smoker instead of leaving it in firewood sizes where it will take several months.

Thats exactly I was thinking,
I'm going to cut the wood in 3 to 4 oz. pieces while its still green and then let it sit up till its ready......Looks like I'm going to have some Oak, Cherry, Pecan, Hickory, who knows...maybe I will try some peach.

Lay the wood chunks out in the sunshine for a month or so.
