My neighbor has an oak tree that you're more than welcome to cut down! I encourage it, actually that way I won't have to spend 4-two hour sessions outside raking leaves this year.
Quick question for people who have their own smokers?
I have been wanting some oak to smoke with on the smoker. Where can you buy it from? ( naturally I don't need much) TIA

I appreciate the offer. But I am using an electric smoker. I just need a couple of sticks of it, and I don't have a chain saw.
Walmart sells it in chunks and chips. At least my local one does.
What are you smoking (besides the gonja)?I have been wanting some oak to smoke with on the smoker. Where can you buy it from? ( naturally I don't need much) TIA
Certain meats smoke better with different wood. I personally don't like oak for smoking. Pecan, mesquite, hickory & apple wood are my favs.
Of course, you'd have to go find a place to purchase them close to you, but it might be a better idea.

^^ What he said. I like pecan the best or mesquite. Most any fruit tree would be a good choice.
Maybe lawn and garden, don't really know just tossing out ideas
I would check the park there in Burleson ,I'm sure there is a few sticks laying around ...
From what I've noticed, oak isn't worth a shit when smoking food. There's a reason nobody else uses it.
Pecan is awsome. You will never look at Ham the same again. Academy has almost all the flovors in chips or smaller pieces.
I get nice wood (ha ha) from academy $15.00 pecan,oak,hickory.
I have a ton on the side of the house. Cut down a few trees a couple months ago. Small sticks too. If you're ever going to be near Euless shoot me a PM.

Nobody around here sells it. Hickory, mesquite are easy to get. On a side note after I left I went hunting for an oak on my way to work. Did not find one, but I did find a flat tire.:frown:
PM me your address and ill UPS you some-seriously.

Used all of those. In fact I have a bag of each on my back porch. But a brisket smoked with oak is my favorite. I actually found a tree blown over during the last storm. Broke some limbs off and will figure out how to chip it up for the smoker.
Try home depot, they have a few diff kinds of smoking wood. The one in mansfield has/had oak
Just go buy a hatchet.. Sawzall or jig saw should work too. Just watch those fingers.Used all of those. In fact I have a bag of each on my back porch. But a brisket smoked with oak is my favorite.

Actually you would be surprised how many BBQ joints use it. It is a taste preference and not every one is going to like it. But to each his own. I am just wanting to try something different than what I have been using. Had some last weekend that a buddy did, and it was one of the best briskets I have ever tasted.
