Wood ID

[lemons87]

I recently got some wood that the guy said was oak. As far as I can tell it is live oak. Can anyone verify this. From the photos. Thanks

The bark runs all over the place as to look and style.

Look over the links and check the leaves a bit closer and see...

Looks like white oak here

The leaves don't look like whit oak. The leaves I have in the picture are from the top of the tree and where in a smaller branch so I don't know. I'll get into the bigger logs in a few days. There is another one right beside this one he said I could cut down too. I'll fell it and see what I can get from that. I was gonna use it for smoking but if I can't get a good id I'll just use it in the fire pit. He did have some persimon too he said I could have

It doesnt really what type of oak, all oak is good to smoke with. We have red and white hete.

I'm certain it's oak just wasn't sure what type. I've used red oak before when smoking a whole sheep and it turned out great. I'll let it season and give it a go. I'm gonna load up on it for sure there is a bunch left
