Fuel question?

[Rev.Mike]

anyone ever heard of useing pecan hulls for smokeing??? thers a guy down the road from me that uses them and his ribs are awsome! ive never heard of the hulls being used, the wood yes but the hulls no, anyone?

I actually heard of people doing this several years ago. Since I live in the Northland I don't have access to pecan trees or the hulls. I'm sure some of the other fellas on this sight might have experience using the hulls.

I do believe that I have heard of this. But I have no personal experience with it.

OK, I can weigh in on this. It is true you can use pecan hulls for smoke but you do not want them to be used in any great quantity. There is a whole lot of oil in the shells and you can overdo it if you get too shell happy. There is a pecan processor down in Troy where my daughter goes to school. I asked them what they charged for hulls and I ended up with a tote sack for free. When I am doing ribs or chicken I toss in a generous handfull each hour while I am adding the next set of logs. You can smell the pecan easy enough. Hope this helps.
