Scored Some Apple Wood

[Cajunsmoke13]

Local orchard was selling some wood. Pretty green the apple is, but I picked up a bin for later use. Don't know if it is a good price or not.

mmmmm Apple........ I've only started using it again recently, kinda forgot how much I do like it.... I buy the chunks in bags, so not sure about your price, but sure like the wood for smoking

How big was the bin steve....I figure the bags are a couple bucks(havent bought a bag in at least ten years....

Another thing is you know its the real deal....I Had some bad experiences with bag wood...Yellow smoke and weird stuff....

[Fishawn]

The bags I buy are 242 cubic inches (they say).... About 3 pounds+-.... Cost $3 per bag on sale & $5 if not on sale.....

Here are some prices from a local retail place.......Apple is spendy. I definitely find better deals through craig's list and other resources, but here is a ball park for different varieties. There is a big demand for Apple, and consequently you pay for it...also, I think they slipped a digit on their graduations for apple...no way I would pay more for a 1/8 cord than a 1/4 cord...but that's just me.

Oak
$242.00 Cord
$135.00 1/2 Cord
$81.00 1/4 Cord
$38.00 1/8 cord


Hickory & Pecan
$270.00 Cord
$162.00 1/2 Cord
$92.00 1/4 Cord
$59.00 1/8 Cord

Cherry
$286.00 Cord
$178.00 1/2 Cord
$108.00 1/4 Cord
$70.00 1/8 Cord

Apple
$380.00 Cord
$270.00 1/2 Cord
$135.00 1/4 Cord
$165.00 1/8 Cord

Holy carp....I am real fortunate a friend up the road clears lots/land....He also BBQ's....Man...I feel better about the time it takes to process.....I can get a seasoned cord of oak for 100 bucks if i needed(i pick it up)

You got that whole box for 45.00. They said it is a 1/3 of a cord. Don't know. It was plenty for me for now. I have a cord of oak I really don't even want. Wish someone would come and pick it up...

Thats a good deal based on the prices bbq engineer posted....Yeah...I have about 10 cords of deadfall to drop around garden myself...Mainly white and red oak...

Earlier this year I purchased a pickup truck load of wood - Full Size bed, stacked tightly, and heaped up in the center, 1/2 Wild Cherry and 1/2 Pecan for $100.00.

To me... apple is the go-to/not sure what wood wood. I have never smoked anything with it and said "Hmmm wish I'd have used..."

Sure, hickory, oak and others have their place. Even mesquite I suppose for some- but you can't go wrong with apple.
