Ok, let me ask a question that I should know the answer to. Are there certain types of trees that are NOT good for tops? I know I have heard that sweet gum and willows are good but what about pecan or oak? Just asking b/c I have some limbs laying around the yard that need to be disposed of and if I can use them for habitat, I would rather do that than burn them.
I would think all wood is good.
I've caught plenty fish out of pecan and oak tops. I don't think pine makes a good top though. I personally don't like Christmas trees either. I'd rather have hardwood

I use pecan a lot because I have the trees and they are always limbs falling
Chunk em in Shadow, chunk em in. :biggrin
Best tops I've fished have been oak trees that fell in the water.
If it were me, the pecan stays in reserve for the smoker. Regardless of the size, you know what I'm talking about Dwayne. Hardwoods such as oak etc. would work.
Agreed Randy. I love pecan for smoking...[emoji39]Quote:

I believe hardwood is the better choice because it will last longer.
Yea Randy, I know what you are talking about but I usually have plenty in reserve for the smoker.Quote:

I've seen plenty of pictures of bamboo bundled and cemented into buckets...not sure how long those last, but if anyone in the S'port/Bossier area wants some, I know where you can cut all you want...just let me know.
