Wood of choice

[YALE]

These hillbillies basically do a blend of mesquite and pecan, or oak. They all opine that oak burns the hottest, but I've never had a problem getting mesquite to burn hot enough, so I don't seek it out.

Nope. Never heard of it....














I'm of the opinion that people that use oak, do so because it is cheaper than the rest of the woods. Whatever floats their boat, I suppose. I just think it gives off a bitter smoke, so I don't like it, personally.

I wasn't talking about mixing it with other wood.

I have used it on a boston butt and some briskets in the past but I like the flavor mesquite puts in those meats better than pecan.

A caveat to that rule is if I take the time to make a mop/marinade that uses a dry red wine as a base, then pecan seems to go really well with that.

Central Texas BBQ, Smitty's uses seasoned Oak, Kreuz uses Post Oak, and Blacks uses Oak and Maple.

FWIW

Blacks all use Oak and and Maple.

Ok smartass , I was just trying to get an opinion on pecan. Do you have one ?

I'll try some mesquite next time. Thanks

Brent has an opinion on everything. And if he doesnt, he will make one up.

Sure do, and you can even read it in this same thread!

I have yet to smoke anything, personally. But in general, I like mesquite flavor a lot more than hickory.

[Lone Sailor]

Hickory, pecan, and apple are my staples.

I used Pecan this weekend, and the ribs and chicked turned out great.
