Bark or no bark

[Buzzman11]

I’m preparing some oak which I’ll be burning with charcoal in my Masterbuilt 1050.

Is it best to remove the bark?

Thanks

If it’s lose I remove it. If not I don’t worry about it! Never any issues with flavor

I agree with SmokingUPnorth..

Yup it won't hurt to leave it on. Inspection might even show you are getting some extra proteins.
