New source for hickory

[SMOKE FREAK]

I hadnt thought of this before...
Getting scarey low on hickory will make you think of new ways to score.
I went into the local Q joint, which sells some pretty respectable chow, and talked with the owner for a while. When I left I had a considerable ammount of hickory in the back of my truck and it only cost me 5 bucks. Thats a good price because hickory dont grow round here. This came from central Arkansas. I hope he will be willing to sell some more in the future...

Man...ya done good! I'm near out so I need to check my Dad's hunt lease & get some...to hot though right now.

[Fire it up]

Great score, and awesome price!

Got lots of trees on the property but aside from buying certain kinds I have found that if you drive by a company cutting down trees they are usually more than happy to get rid of it for free.
Got a LOT of maple that way last year so always good to keep your eye open.

Now that is using the old grey matter....

I am fortunate to have a friend who clears land just up the road....He supplies the local Joints with wood.

I thought hickory grew everywhere in Kansas.

[Cajunsmoke13]

Need to find some hickory and oak for my new smoker...maybe Alex can help me...

[SMOKE FREAK]

I just was glad to find some good wood to keep me cookin till I can come up with some other source. I can get a ton of mulberry and some oak too but it wont be good to cook with for months...

Hickory trees do grow statewide in Kansas. Check along streams, creeks, rivers, irrigation waterways, hedgerows, even the middle of pastures.

News to me Dave...all I find is oaks...everywhere...and mullberry...of course...

And I realize that hickory and oak are of the same family...but I likes me hickory...

Will definately check into the hickory in Ks thing...as well the pecan...you told me some time ago that pecan was common in Ks but I have found only one and the owner isnt willing to share...go figure...
