Using wood with bark

[dscheibe]

I have some pecan wood I want to use for a smoke next week but most of the splits have bark on them.  Is it necessary to remove the bark or can I burn it without concern?  Thanks.

Nope use it all.

I use a lot of pecan with the bark. It is seasoned though.

Only reason I peel Bark is if it is falling off any how...

Have fun and. . .

Happy smoken.

I burn it bark or no bark. I throw loose bark away.

If the barks thick, like ohia, I take it off; if it's thin I leave it on.

Maybe it's just in my mind..but i always have a good smoke ring using bark..

I was searching the site about using bark in my new smokehouse and ran across this thread..

Does anyone else think bark causes a bigger smoke ring ???
