Post Oak Logs 40lbs box vs Wilson Enterprises Natural Cherry Firewood

Buy the Post Oak Logs if you cook barbecue and want a mild, steady smoke for brisket, ribs or chicken. Buy the Wilson Enterprises Cherry if you mostly burn in a fireplace or want a sweeter smoke on pork and poultry. The post oak box is the larger load of bigger splits and carries a strong owner rating; the cherry is kiln-dried, so it lights and burns more predictably, and it comes from a named brand. Neither is a premium hardwood line, so expect some loose bark and size variation in both.

  • Choose the Post Oak Logs 40lbs box if you smoke meat and want a mild, all-purpose cooking wood in larger splits.
  • Choose the Wilson Enterprises Natural Cherry Split Firewood if you want kiln-dried cherry for a fireplace or for sweeter smoke on pork and poultry.

Questions and answers

Which is better for smoking brisket?
Post oak. Its mild smoke is the standard for brisket and won't drown the meat. Cherry is better saved for pork and poultry.
Which burns longer?
Post oak, as a dense hardwood in larger splits. Cherry splits here are thin, so they burn hot and fast; the maker suggests ordering multiple boxes for a longer fire.
Is kiln-dried wood worth stepping up to?
Kiln-dried wood lights faster and burns more consistently because moisture is controlled. If you want predictable fires, the cherry has the edge; if you want a bigger load of cooking splits, the post oak does.
Can I use either in a fireplace?
Yes, but the cherry is the better fit. Its 16 inch splits and kiln-dried moisture suit fireplaces, while post oak's larger splits are aimed at smokers.
Which gives less smoke?
Both are described as mild. Post oak is known for light smoke on meat; cherry is listed as less smoke with a sweeter aroma.
Will the boxes arrive the same size?
No. The post oak is a fixed 40 lb box of about 2 cubic feet. The cherry is a 30 lb box, and the maker says weight varies per box.
