Scored some oak

[Bob Sample]

Went to my sister-in-laws for a Christmas visit and they had just got a load of 5 cords of wood. Turns out it's 95% red oak that's been dried for 2years so I grabbed a bunch of logs. I now like my sister-in-law again.

5 cords?

1 will last us an entire winter in the fireplace and then some.

I have never used red oak, but have access to it. Might give it a try this year.

Sweet! Nice score.

I could burn a couple of cords over the winter easily. I like my fireplace!

They heat a 150 year old farm house with a wood stove. Looking forward to trying some oak on the Q.

Chris, I've been using white oak for years and would not say it was mild. It's comparable to hickory in intensity of the smoke. A little goes a long way for me. I use it when doing briskets and meats that can handle the strong flavors
