~How long to bake wood?

[~SG~]

I'm wondering how long I should bake my large pieces of wood? I've got some 2 inches across and wanting to make certain I get it good and dry.

Low temp, long time. I would say 175 - 200 degrees for 2 hours. But maybe a more avid baker can answer.

I'm cooking at 150, I cook low temp and longer on my other stuff, I just think it turns out better that way, Thanks for the advice!

Customers have been bringing me wood so now I also have a big pile to process, can't wait.

Pecan does smell awesome when baking, it makes me hungry. Applewood is too sickly sweet, it actually makes me a bit nauseous!

I've been using my roaster oven though, and MAN that works way better!

Dawn, that is fabulous! You should have put the word out years ago, lol.

Here is a thread about how to prepare wood. Timing will entirely depend on how green the wood.
