    Pleased Identify This Wood

    You are right I’m in LA. San Gabriel Valley to be specific. I know tree places sell not give wood away but it’s all over the yard so the owners may throw me a few bones but I’m convinced now it’s cedar and not worth trying.

    The only trees we can’t grow here are coconut palm trees. Everything else grows here I believe.

    Pleased Identify This Wood

    I agree most trees at people’s houses are just planted for looks rather than native. I think the native flora is normally bushes although I believe in certain areas there are lots of oak trees.

    So I was going to go back to take a better look but I pass. I think for those of you who say it’s not oak I agree.

    dave I looked up deodar cedar on the internet and I’m convinced you are correct because in that neighborhood it looks like there are a lot of trees of that type in front yards so I believe this must be the case. They have a big piece of trunk wood laying around but I didn’t photograph it. I...

    dave I’m positive you are correct about the Liquid Amber. My neighbor has one and it resembles it. I’ll go with what you say about the other wood as I’m not too keen on identifying it. At least I got free Silver Maple a couple months ago. Not too flavorful wood but good for heating the BBQ.

    I was looking for leafs too but they did a great job of cleaning up any leafs that were left. They have a big pine tree there still standing so the pine needles could be from that tree not what was cut down. The owners were not home. Maybe I can catch them today and before the wood is hauled...

    Pleased Identify This Wood

    Hello, I saw a house with a lot of recently cut down wood. I think I see two types. One I’m convinced is a Liquid Amber which is no good for smoking but the other not too sure. Possibly Oak? Can you help identify please??? Thank You, James

    Anyone ever cold smoked store bought bacon?

    I you smoke Store bought bacon usually store bought comes already cured with nitrates so can it be safely cold smoked or do you need to do additional curing to make it safe? Thanks.

    Please Itentify This Maple Leaf

    Chris, I only found out after I took the wood home that you can identify the tree species by the leaf so I went back the next day and all the tree was gone as were the leaves except a couple of dried out leaves so as far as fuzz goes I won't see any. It's small so I guess not Big Leaf. mike...
