Bark on the Logs

[E's Smokin]

When putting logs in the fire box do you take all the bark off the logs or leave it on for more smoke

Thanks

Yessir, bark stays on.

I leave it on and my BBQ tastes good. If it's falling half way off I rip it off. Even little moss doesn't hurt. I'll try and get most I can off tho with my fingers or piece of wood. Wire brush works good too. I'm smoking with plum now. Not much bark compared to oak or walnut

I leave it on too!

Some say bark gives a bitter flavor. If it's loose I'll flake it off, otherwise I pretty much ignore it.

Like above, if it loose or about to fall off, I'll toss it aside. Otherwise, bark is wood also.
