sapwood or heartwood for making toasted oak sticks
When making any toasted american white oak does it need to be heart wood or can it also be sapwood? And the same for applewood, can you use both for toasting? ive heard you should only use heartwood. And i havent found anything in writing that says otherwise. thanks
