Aloha,

Do you, or anyone, know how to get guava chunks on the Big Island. The web site says no HI address and no answer to my emails.
Mahalo

    Greg doesn't ship within Hawaii.

    Likely he can't.

    Currently there are several pests that threaten commercial crops within the state, and the state dept of agg restricts movement of many items between islands and districts within islands. Wood can be a great carrier of pests, and I think it likely that it is controlled.

    When we were on the Big Island over Thanksgiving we learned that bananas cannot be taken between districts, as the DOA attempts to limit the spread of a commercially devastating banana pest.

    Kau Boy may have to find his guava smoking wood locally, and perhaps not just on his island, but within his agg district.

    I tried to email and message on this forum both of you before visiting in Nov.

    Sadly, missed you both.

    There is a good chance we will return to Volcano in Feb for an extended family celebration.

    Any chance either of you might want to get together and 'talk Egg'?

    The only Q available to me is a gasser, but with it I can do a mean huli huli mongoose! Otherwise we can retreat to the Kilauea Lodge for repast and adult beverage.

    If you would, email me to the addy on my profile.

    Aloha and a hui hou,

    DD
