A good friend of mine who lives down the block had a fruit bearing pear tree which was dropping pears all over his yard. That brought out the yellow jackets in droves, not to mention the squirrels which can just be annoying.
After owning the house a couple of years and going through this a couple of seasons he decided to have it taken down. Knowing that I smoke food he had the guy who took it down save the wood for me.
I've now got a full tree to split (I'd say about 1/2 a face cord of pear wood).
Anyone ever use pear wood? Can you use it as a base wood for a stick burn like an SnP like you would Oak or should it just be an accent wood for flavor?
Obviously I have some time while it cures to figure out what I am going to do but just thought I would throw it out there and see what everyone here has done.
Thank you in advanced for what I am sure is going to be great answers!
Best,
Chris
