Our take on the Firewood Central Kiln-Dried PA Hickory – 16” Splits (Approx. 38 lb)

Firewood Central sells kiln-dried Pennsylvania hickory in 16-inch splits, bundled at roughly 38 lb with 14 to 18 pieces per bundle. Hickory is the strongest of the common smoking woods, so it suits beef, pork and game and is usually blended with milder wood for poultry and fish. Kiln drying to 15% moisture or less means it lights faster and burns with less hiss, smoke and popping than green or seasoned-only wood. The main trade-off against rival bundles is that hickory's heavy smoke can overwhelm lighter meats, and split count and piece size vary from bundle to bundle.

Questions and answers

Is hickory good for all meats?
It is best for beef, pork and game, where its strong smoke holds up. For chicken, fish or vegetables, blend it with a milder wood like apple or oak.
Do I need to season these splits further?
No. They are kiln-dried to 15% moisture or less and ready to burn on arrival. Store them dry and off the ground.
Will 16-inch splits fit my smoker?
They fit most offset smokers, kamado grills, pizza ovens and fire pits. Check your firebox length if you run a small or compact unit.
How many splits are in a bundle?
Each bundle holds roughly 14 to 18 splits at about 38 lb total. Piece count and thickness vary because wood is a natural product.
How does hickory compare with oak or apple?
Hickory is stronger and sharper than oak, and much stronger than apple. Use less hickory per cook or blend it to keep the smoke balanced.
Can I use it in a fire pit or pizza oven?
Yes. The dry splits light easily and burn hot, which suits pizza ovens and fire pits as well as smokers.
