Living in the city and having zero access to harvesting my own wood chunks, I got fed up the 14.99 a 5# bag of low grade wood. So from others in here, offering insight, I placed an order fo 50# of Peach a few months ago.
Phenominal is the only word I can use to describe the quality.
I was so impressed, I followed with a 50# of Pecan. Absolutely the finest smoking pecan wood I have ever used in the last 35 years.
Worth the price, quality wood, consistant size, great smoke. Fist sized chunks.

    Mind your temps, that's going to make your fire burn hotter.  ;)

    +2 for Fruita Wood. Thanks for the reminder @YukonRon, I need to take inventory and get another order put together. Love the U Pick Em option.

    I love their wood.  If you are ever in the Grand Junction, Colorado, area be sure to stop in and say hi to the owner and buy some wood - even cheaper right at their store.  Ask for a tour of his backroom and you'll be impressed by their stock of wood.

    The peach makes my garage smell like a fruit stand. The Pecan, when I opened the box, was awesome.

    I know. I do watch temps closely. But that is a very wise tip when smoking L&S. Thanks!

    I certainly will. My Beautiful Wife and I frequent the area. I look forward to the opportunity. Their smoking wood, and the BGE is a combination that is hard to beat. Thank you for sharing the information.

    I'm curious if anyone has tried both sweet cherry and wild cherry. Wanted to try sweet cherry for a while, but not sure if there's a smell or flavor difference. They recommend the sweet.
