Hickory wood using shag bark hickory
by Dave Birkholz
(Missouri)
I have about 6 shag-bark hickory trees in my backyard. I did some trimming and now have hickory chunks. Is there a difference in hickory wood and should I let it cure before using in my smoker. A friend also told me that the peeling bark is great for smoking. Have you ever used the bark alone? Doesn't seem it would last very long.
Thanks Dave
