Pecan Firewood Marathon Time in Georgia ?

[CountryBoy19]

i was watching a big bbq contest lastnight on tv, they were in texas somewhere.. one of the guys said he doesnt use charcoal , that he only uses his own hardwoods, "pecan and hickory" .. then i remembered from reading this thread also lastnight, that pecan is a type of hickory,, right?

Pecan is a "relative" of hickory. I'm not sure if it's actually considered a hickory or not, but they're definitely related.

Here ya go, a link re. pecan.

Pecans and hickories are all part of the same genus Carya, which means they are very closely related, sort of like Northern Red Oak and Southern Red Oak. In fact, pecan is as closely related to Mockernut Hickory as Mockernut Hickory is to Pignut Hickory, and so on. It is, for all intents and purposes, a true hickory.
