What about that grove that they chopped down on the north side of I-10 west of Picacho Peak?    Wondering if that is pecan?   If so, there's a gold mine of it there (acres and acres), if they are willing to let folks grab it.   Noticed it the last couple of times I drove to Tucson.....

Good luck in your search!

Ask Caldwell BBQ where they get their pecan wood from.

I have pecan trees but I use the wood from trimming myself.

Yes, that pecan Grove on the North side of the I-10 was cut down SW of Eloy, North of Picacho. Plus the other groves get trimmed/culled.

Convenient, but might be a bit more pricey than others - Berry Brothers off the 202 and Washington, right next to Le Girls - https://bbfw.com/pick-up-by-the-bag-1

Cheap and possibly even free, but not so convenient - Day Break Pecan Orchards, as everyone else mentioned. - 4539 E Phillips Rd, Eloy, AZ 85131

If you are smoking your meat unwrapped make sure you remove the bark from your wood. Otherwise you will get a slightly bitter pitchy taste to it.

Spatchcocked turkeys smoked with pecan.

Is this the official invite for hosting all of CWT at your ranch?

I buy mine at Berry  Brothers.  When you drive in, to the left hand side they have a section where they have chunks of wood that is bagged in heavy duty plastic bags.  this is how I buy my smoking wood.  I found that adding a whole piece of firewood was too much at one time and it would raise the temperature too high.  I started cutting my wood down with a chop saw but when I saw they sell the same wood in chunks, bagged, in addition to logs, I tried the chunks and it works great for me.  They usually have at least 5 to 7 different kinds of wood.  I use a mixture of pecan and oak,.  the oak last longer in the fire.
