    Just starting out

    It will take some time to get thing right. Who am I fooling it is luck every time but. Buy a chimny starter to light the coal. Don't even buy that pre soaked junk.

    What type of wood is this???

    Sure could use some foilage to help I.D. that tree. That is the best way to I.D. plants.

    What kind of wood am I?

    What you have is a Bradford Pear. I have some in a stack of wood. Just waiting for the wood to age. I like fruitwood like Cherry and Apple. Cottonwoods do not have the fruit like the Bradford Pear but the foilage does look alike. Mike

    North Carolina Associated Woods

    You can find oak everywhere. I use apple or cherry for flavor then oak or maple for heat. Go to a place that sells firewood, they can hook you up. Mike
