Wood you help a brother out? In anticipation of getting an electric log splitter for both cooking wood and fireplace wood I have started collecting logs where I can find them. The logs in the middle that have a decidedly reddish color to them, does anyone recognize what type of tree those are from? and whether they are for eating or heating? ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2023/10/full-42336-200315-dscn8016.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2023/10/full-42336-200316-dscn8017.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2023/10/full-42336-200317-dscn8018.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2023/10/full-42336-200318-dscn8019.jpg) Thanks in advance for your responses

If it’s cedar, he should be able to smell cedar…

Kinda looks like China berry to me. Burn it. Wouldn’t cook with it.

There is no cedar smell so I am guessing red oak?

Not Mesquite, judging from the bark I would say some kind of oak.

Get a good moisture meter. Inexpensive, for years of use.
Smoke on!
