Ken in TX,
Was working on a D17 motor that will be going in my WD last  night, havin a hard time removing the liners. Everything (wood) split and not move the liners. I finally found a chunk of E. TX oak from over by Rusk. My big hammer and that oak worked like a charm on all 4 of em! It's like a whole other country!

I cut some East Texas post oak for Bar-B-Q wood last winter. It was growing at the top of a hill above a creek bottom on the back of the place. Not any over a foot in diameter chest high. It was quite obvious by looking at the growth rings that these oaks for their size had been growing slowly there for a century or more. I counted the rings on a 10 inch stump at more than 150. Crowding and poor sugar sand soil produced some of the hardest post oak I had ever seen. I sold it in 2 foot lengths unsplit to Bodacious Bar B Q in Longview Texas. The owner said it was some of the longest burning post oak he ever cooked with.

If you are in my neck of the woods next winter I need to have you over for a Ken style Bar-B-Q cookout at my place.
