Ok, I'm a no nothing rookie. With my pecan I have a lot of small diameter pieces. I just break them up and put them in the smoker. Couldn't find my draw knife. I'm looking for an easy way to skin the bark. Looks as though I won't be smoking today.
Sounds like a good excuse to buy a bandsaw...
Got 2 bandsaws, a Grob and a Roll In bandsaw.
Bandsaw was not a good idea.I had an old Schrade 140T in the knife drawer with a 3 1/2" blade. It made quick work on the bark. Wife decided she liked to use the bandsaw and cut all the pieces in half. The wood is actually nice looking on the inside. Nephew said he had made furniture from Alder. Probably not the same kind.
Thanks everybody, we are ready to smoke.
