Hey stick burner guys and girls,
I'll be getting a stick burner this summer, I'll post much more later once it is more official. I got a load of cherry wood from an orchard, and the farmer cut it up for me somewhat but I've been cutting it further and then splitting into small pieces.
Some of the logs I got though have pretty large knots, and for the short lengths I'm cutting them into, sometimes the knot takes up most of the log! An example is where the tree split into two or three main sections. Is there anything I can do with these large pieces that I can't split (yes I tried to split them for a while)? Would they be good for putting in early to warm up the smoker, or would it take too long to catch or create too much heat? I'd hate to have to just throw them away.
