Firewood Central Kiln-Dried Hickory Splits vs Sun Joe Juniper Kiln-Dried Firewood

Buy the Firewood Central hickory if you want a cooking wood with real smoke character for ribs, brisket and red meat. Buy the Sun Joe juniper if you mainly want firewood for a fire pit or fireplace and prefer a larger count of splits. The hickory is the more specialized product: kiln-dried to 15% moisture or less, 14 to 18 splits per bundle, and a strong but controlled smoke that pit-masters use for beef. The Sun Joe pack gives 20 splits at 40 lb, all 16 inches, but juniper is a general firewood with a lighter, resinous smoke that suits pork and poultry more than heavy beef.

• Choose the Firewood Central hickory if you cook brisket, ribs or game and want a strong, clean-burning smoke with low ash and little popping.
• Choose the Sun Joe juniper if you want a bigger count of 16-inch splits for fire pits and fireplaces and don't need a heavy BBQ smoke profile.
