I worked briefly at a bbq place here in town and we used red oak.
When my last wood man died, I just lucked into finding the guy that supplies Outlaws. I know I can count on getting nothing but Red oak/hickory from that guy.

I use a combo of Pecan, Hickory and Mesquite. Ratio is this:
4 Pecan
2 Hickory
1 Mesquite

I have a vertical smoker and use wood pieces, not chunks. Once it cooks for about 12 hours, I wrap in foil and cook an additional 8 to 10 hours over oak.

Oak is what I use for beef and pork. Long smoke time achieved without the smoked flavor overpowering everything. If im smoking a Turkey ill throw in a bit of or cherry wood mixed with pecan. For Chicken apple mixed with pecan

I use a pellet smoker but I add a blend of apple and hickory. It's truly a personal preference type of discussion.

This thread makes me want to smoke a brisket. Maybe I'll do this on Fathers Day.

You must have one hell of a refined pallet.

i'm sure you know what you're doing and it tastes great, but I don't have enough vacation days to get this done.

I have an electric smoker. I have Hickory, Mesquite, Oak, Pecan, and Apple at my house. I'm doing a brisket tomorrow. Probably stick with hickory. Oak burns too hot. At least it burned hot last time i did a brisket. Cooked the thing in 3 hours instead of the 8 i was hoping for.

Tomorrow i'll do hickory and maybe some pecan. I'll smoke it about 4-5 hours, wrap it, and put it on the pit for 3 hours, on medium to low heat.
