beb Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Hope I get this picture attached properly. I picked up a bundle of wood at a shop that sells charcoal and stuff for grilling. I think they cater to the roadside kiosk people. Anyway, I was thinking maybe I can use this for smoking since they apparently use it in cooking but wanted to ask if there are any wood geniuses out there that may be able to identify it for me. any help? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phetchy Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 A mate of mine in the UK has a hedging/fencing business and whenever questioned by some of his HiSo clients as to "what wood are the posts made from?" - a reply of "tree wood" usually did the trick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what wood you are referring to and this photo is definitely not of that. I use lots of lychee wood and this is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdeBoCM Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 This is very likely to be krathon wood, a tree that bear fruits that are not so widely sold in supermarket but definitely in local markets. When freshly cut the wood is almost pink, then darken to pale brown soon afterward. I use it to make furniture at my workshop. It's not very dense, but not prone to termite attacks. However better to keep it indoor as it will rotten quickly in a garden. English: Santol or cottonwood. Latin: sandoricum koetjape. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandoricum_koetjape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
