Does someone have experience using wood from non bearing pear tree in FB for an offset? The tree will have to come down due to storm damage yesterday. This tree is a non bearing pear tree (30 yrs old) but not for long. Hee Hee
I have a place to store and start the seasoning period (entering fall season) and I'm (not sure how long to wait season here in state of OK ? ) ,
bottom line I don't wont to bother labor to cut, store and seasoning period if this type of pear wood logs are not pleasant for smoking ? This offset smoker is used for all varieties of meats, sausages, poultry and sometimes fish.
if pear wood is pleasant for smoking then I have the following questions:
Any input on what to expect : flavor, how long and how hot the pear wood burns
in relations to say to seasoned pecan and hickory
do chunks of wood season in a shorter time than say either
large splits and/or 2" to 3" round sticks 10 " long? if so how much time for chunks to season
This tree is not a Bradford pear but not sure but it may be a Bartlett Pear, further
In the last 6 months I noted that one part "trunk" of the large multi trunk pear tree had begin to stop greening up this spring/summer (dying)
