Chuck/Tx,
Good question and I think I could live with[p]1)Mesquite
2)Hickory
-
Chuck/Tx,
I'd have to say Pecan. After that, I'd probably say more Pecan. However, for straight grilling I love cooking on a straight Mesquite fire. Mesquite has always been a big part of my life. There's nothing quite like it.[p]Mike
-
Lawn Ranger,
I am willing to bet that mesquite is a big part of your life because you are from the great state of Texas like me. I hope to get back there some day soon

#1 Guava
#2 Guava
Guava = MMMmmm MMMmmm Good !!!
-
Chuck/Tx,
jack daniels chips (love that smell)[p]followed closely by apple
-
Chuck/Tx,
cherry would be the first choice with a little hickory added for the second choice as i usually use that mixture for low and slows. we could still use rosemary as thats not a chip, toss an onion in there, etc. would i have to give up grape vines for the lamb legs. and i would need something for turkey, not sure what to do with that, maybe shells
fukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it -

-
Chuck/Tx,
1-Apple[p]2-Pecan
-
Ronbo,
Shoot ... you Texans prolly use tumbleweeds along with the mesquite![p]Ducking for cover .....................
-
Counting only the first and second choice listings, this is the number of times a wood was listed:
cherry - 4
pecan and hicory each - 3
apple, mesquite, guiva each - 2
Jack Daniels - 1[p]I would have listed apple first. Don't know what I'd list second, probably hickory. But looks like I need to try cherry; haven't used it.
-
meinbmw, we use tumbleweeds when we can get loco weeds. LOL

Ronbo,
Yes Sir, My Friend. A Mesquite fire conjures memories of countless bird hunts, fishing trips or just being outdoors in the Caprock area of the Panhandle South Plains. That's some beautiful country.[p]Mike
-
Chuck/Tx,[p]Although not my absolute favorite, if I had only one to choose it would be apple. The second one would be cherry.[p]~thirdeye~

Chuck/Tx,
My first choice isn't even a smoking wood. It's a plain yellow onion plopped on the coals. Great smell, great flavor enhancer.[p]After that it's a blend of fruit tree chips from Chigger Creek.[p]Kelly

JSlot,
I'm with you on that one.
-
Chuck/Tx,[p]1 - JD Chips - Salmon without it just ain't rite.[p]2 - Cherry[p]Jethro
-
Chuck/Tx,[p]1-Cherry
2-Hickory[p]On the rare occasion that I want my food to smell like the devil's asscrack I like mesquite.
Ray Lampe Dr. BBQ -
drbbq, ouch, what a seed you've planted in my mind about the taste/smell of misquite! Can't help but wonder what kind of "rare occasion" you'd want to cook with it???
-
Chuck/Tx,[p]If I can only have one, Pecan...however, I use cherry more for pork and Oak for beef. I think of Pecan as a compromise between the two.
-
drbbq,
Being a Texan, I've gotta stick w/ native woods, that is: Mesquite, Pecan, & perhaps Hickory on a limited basis...Apple & Cherry come in a close second, but are mighty expensive down here...
-
drbbq,[p]no please... don't hold back, tell us what you really think of mesquite[p]my answer[p]1 Hickory
2 Guava[p]Was really hard not to put down Maple but I went with what I use the most of...
-
Chuck/Tx,[p]I bet that rare occasion is after two too many beers![p]I, on the other hand, use Mequite first and Hickory second.[p]Looks like I might want to follow George Washington's lead, for a change of taste!
-
drbbq,[p]Apparently you guys missed "Dr. BBQ's Big-Time Barbecue Cookbook".
Ray Lampe Dr. BBQ -
drbbq,[p]Nope I got it, I knew you didn't like it.... I don't own a stick of Mesquite either.... So I am with you
