I recently bought some biscuits. The package indicated they were made from Birchwood. All the literature and articles that I have read in the past have only mentioned Beechwood biscuits. I looked up the wood properties of Beech and Birch and they are fairly similar. Is it a raw material availability or cost issue? Some web sites sell Beechwood biscuits and some sell Birchwood biscuits. Just curious.

Comin' right up. You want grits too?Make mine buttermilk with lots of sausage gravy, please. As for the wooden kind both work ok.
Grits are kind of like eggplant......don't have much of their own taste and are flavored by what you put on them.Jim, hold the grits, please. Just never developed a taste for them. Or oatmeal or mush or cream of wheat. But love those biscuits and gravy.
Cinnamon and cheese?add a touch of cinnamon to that too...
Another question..... instant grits or the real deal like what they served in the movie 'My Cousin Vinny'?yup...
but only a touch... smidgen.. skoush...
don't forget to add butter..
make that extra butter...
Do I do my wood project glue up while the grits are cooking or do I cook the grits while the wood project glue is curing?no brainer...
the real deal...
always...
Grits in the glue would be ok......help them stick to the ribs!!!!as long as you don't get the glue in the grits...
It may be a while. The glue ups worked fine. Have to wait and see if they fail in use. Can't imagine that big companies (mine were sold by DeWalt) would sell them without checking out test results......based on all the law suits these days.The biscuits are compressed and swell when wet by the wood glue. I see no reason why more than one species would not work. Biscuit joiners were invented by Lemmelo who is Swiss, I think. Beech is popular in Europe, so the biscuits that first appeared were beech. I guess somebody found birch more available or cheaper. There are few things that can only be made from one species. Just me rambling. If the birch biscuits are no good, please get back to us.
