    Pecan is great with just about anything. I still have some left from when I lived in Arizona. You should have seen the mover's face when asked what was making those boxes so heavy! I'm going to miss it when I run out.

    you do know don't you that it is going to have to dry at least for a year minimum before using if that tree had been alive. BTW I love pecan and buy it by the bags you lucky dude!

    Pecan is one of my favorites for smoking just about anything. We use it almost exclusivly if cooking on a big offset (maybe mixed with a little hickory sometimes) and have had great luck with it.

    Let it dry and enjoy it.

    As others have said, pecan is possibly the best all round smoking wood.

    You just have to change the quantity used - from not much for salmon, a normal amount for pork and chicken and throw in some extra wood for beef.

    Make sure you allow at lest six months for the wood to season - but 12 months is better.
