New Wood Hickory and Wild Cherry
So blessed to live in East Texas. As I’ve posted before, my Grandson works in the Logging business and I now have drying some Wild Cherry and fresh Hickory

In all the years I have been cooking, I have never used Hickory. Lots of Oaks, and Pecan.

Woo hoo!
We used to use a lot of hickory but now swing toward apple and cherry.

Re: New Wood Hickory and Wild Cherry
Nice haul. Used hickory for several years till I got a crazy deal on pecan. Now that’s all I use. Never had an opportunity to try cherry, apple or such. May have to break down and pony up too much $ for a test bag.

Re: New Wood Hickory and Wild Cherry
I love using hickory and white oak, never tried wild cherry. Is it a lighter wood flavor like all the other fruit woods?

Cherry imparts a lot of color and can be heavy for our tastes. We always pair it with apple.

My cherry wood source went belly up but I sure did like it when I had access to it. The smell and color it puts on a rack of ribs........... nothing else like it. Great score!!!

Not much of the Wild Cherry left in East Texas due to the logging. It also takes someone with knowledge of tree varieties to spot them. They’re not big trees. Mostly here, some are still in creek bottoms that haven’t been cut or along old fence rows that have grown up

Re: New Wood Hickory and Wild Cherry
I cut a limb off my Plum tree. It has a red heart so I’m thinking I can cook with it since it’s a fruit tree. Any opinions appreciated

Thanks KAM. I’ll give it a shot after it cures a couple of months or so

Re: New Wood Hickory and Wild Cherry
I'd gladly trade cherry and apple for
Some pecan or hickory. I'm still about 1/4 the way through an oak buy from three years ago. Once I bought that I got a load of cherry and apple. I do enjoy fruit wood a lot. Plum can be used and if you ever get a hold of fig wood, it's smells incredible. The smoke is the goods.
