- What is post oak good for?
- It is a mild smoking wood, popular for Texas-style brisket and beef, and mild enough for poultry and fish. It also works as the base heat source under a stronger flavor wood.
- How strong is the smoke flavor?
- Milder than hickory, mesquite or pecan. The wood gives a light, clean smoke, so it is hard to oversmoke meat with it.
- How big are the splits?
- Pieces are split 2 to 5 inches across and cut to about 7.5 to 8.5 inches long. That fits small smokers, kamados and offset fireboxes that won't take full-length splits.
- How much wood is in a box?
- One box holds 40 lb of split wood, roughly 2 cubic feet, in a 19 by 15 by 13 inch carton. Plan on more than one box for a long brisket cook.
- Do I need to season it further?
- The wood is sold ready to burn, but if it feels heavy or damp, let it dry in a covered, ventilated spot before use. Dry wood gives a cleaner fire and less creosote.
- Can I use it in a kamado or pellet grill?
- The short splits suit kamados and charcoal grills as added smoke wood or a coal base. Pellet grills need pellets, not splits.
