These folks talking about burning elm and such is comical
I like both woods. Pecan doesn’t seem to smoke as much as oak.

Throws embers like hedge. Doesn’t burn any hotter than pecan or oak. Hackberry is like a weed and stays alive by hoarding water. Takes forever to dry. Takes a good year to get right.

Originally posted by eradicator View PostInteresting. Haven't had that experience personally. Seems pretty neutral between the two. Now oak smoke is a little stronger, but wouldn't say it smokes more. Not to mention, pecan is a #$%& to split!
I do split while it’s wet…

Thanks. I have ton of massive ones down by the creek. They are great to hunt from. Guess the dead ones can rot.

Won't do that again.
Cedar elm burns just fine.
Ahem. When cured.
It burns faster than pecan and oak but not ash.
