Pecan makes an excellent firewood<\/strong>. Hickory and Pecan belong to the same family of trees and share a lot of characteristics such as smell, density, and burning properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is found in the Southern states of America in hot, humid environments. However, some of his varieties are also adapted to northern and cold areas. It is a dense hardwood, and it burns long, giving out a good amount of heat. There are over 500 types of Pecan trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of its peculiar traits is its smell. Belonging to hickory, it also produces a very good aroma<\/strong> which may leave your room fragrant even after the fire has long burned out. For its smell, it is used by many cooks because it adds a pleasantly sweet taste to the meat. This makes it great for barbecue and smoking purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its wood is used for many purposes. Due to its high density and good grain, it is used for furniture and makes good lumber. It’s pretty costly, compared to other hardwoods, and you are lucky if you have this firewood in your stove. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
