how about a library thread? If there is a place to get smoker wood in your area, list it, and the price, if you know it... I'll start -
Between Alvin an Manvel on hwy 6, near the RV place. There is a guy selling oak, Mesquit, and sometimes Pecan. It's been a while since I've been by, so I don't remember the price, but I need more wood, so I'll be by there soon!

the old Herbies store across from Kilgores in League City has a nice selection. Terry is a good guy and will fix you up.

The Firewood Connection just North of FM 2334 on Blue Ridge Road. Oak, pecan, hickory and mesquite. He sells big bags (100lb nylon rice/grain bags) of chunks for $15.00/bag. Good honest guy and he will deliver if you need him to. Daryl Fisher is the owners name (281)650-1375

Jerry, maybe you can check out that guy here in Hitchcock on Highway 6. I go to them all the time. The prices are fair.
They have some good mesquite wood.

Two places in Pearland that I know of. One is on 518 about a 1/2 mile east of Strickland Chevrolet and one on CR101 about 1/4 mile west of FM1128.

I get mine at Krogers. They have a good selection of different woods. I am guessing wt at 50 lb bags. $9.99 a bag.I buy it for turning wood too.

Academy in Port Arthur sells Hickory, Oak, Pecan and Mesquite in 20# bags for $10. It is usually split wood or larger limb pieces.

I bought mine in Dallas from a Craigslist ad. Of course, it is better to go with someone you have a referral for, as mine was not quite as dry as I hoped, not split as much as I hoped, and by my stacking the rick shrank a bit.
Still, I did get prompt service!

Does anyone know of a good place in Tomball? I get mine at Academy but I would like more bang for the buck

the way it is looking now there is a ridiculous amount of oak and pecan lying around galveston that would be free to take off the curb. watch out for th esnakes though, I've been hearing from the GPD that they have been a problem lately.

If anyone is interested in large or small quantities of Pecan, send me a PM.
We have a pecan orchard on the Colorado River near Eagle Lake with lots of laying dead, standing dead, laying green, broken green, ect and it needs some cutting and trimming. You bring your saws and trailer and take all you want. PM me and I'll let you know when I'll be down there next.
Did I mention that it's all free.
