I am just wondering what everyone uses to smoke a brisket? I have apple. I like to try new things but hate to screw them up. Everyone have a great weekend. If you're working like me, well just make the best of it

I like pecan or hickory with beef. The Texicans will tell you it has to be Mesquite. It's a little too strong for my taste

Oak is popular to use for brisket. Really you could use any smoke wood with a brisket.

Pecan is a milder smoke, but goes well with beef and pork!

We like to use Oak Lump charcoal along with a couple of chunks of Hickory smoking wood. We will also use some cherry for color on the smoke ring.
Hard to beat the Oak/Hickory combination for tradititional BBQ.

So I opened a bag of Hickory chunks at work, going to try them this time. Whats a good amount of chunks to use?

So just a couple of chunks? And cherry, I will try that. ThanksSMITTYtheSMOKER said:We like to use Oak Lump charcoal along with a couple of chunks of Hickory smoking wood. We will also use some cherry for color on the smoke ring.

Put the packer on cold and start the cook off low, 225-250, and you'll get a nice smoke ring. Once it gets past 140, you can crank it up to 275-300. You can also cheat and put a little bit of sodium nitrite in the rub (I swear I don't do that!).

Yes, I only use a couple of chunks. One right in the fire and one at the edge of the fire.
