Loved this video. I am just starting to use wood chips in a smoker box on my gas grill. Very informative with some humor…Pe-can pecan

Thks for explaining how strong or not each type of wood chips is. New to smoking.

Cherry and Peach combo is a fantastic blend for anything pork and yes poultry! And White Oak for beef all the way! Has that great oaky flavor with a beautiful hint of vanilla!

Mesquite smoke and salt and pepper brisket ! Just awesome

[SpikesStudio]

Yeah, 2 yrs... still solid advice. I think smoking meats has become more popular. Anyone who contributes to the common knowledge base in a productive way is good by me. 😄👍

I see Peach wood for the sweet flavor. Interesting to see Cherry and Pecan. I learned Mesquite the hard way. I bought a 40 lb bag of lump and spatchcocked a chicken. Even a quick steak was more than I was wanting. I cook on a Kamodo and have found B&B Oak lump to be a personal favorite now. Even with pizza I can taste a little smoke and it’s good flavor.
Excellent video right to the point.

Texas here, Mesquite is everywhere too and it's what I use the most. Pecan is a nice alternative for a lighter flavor

[purposedforhispurpose]

Hey Brad, thanks for the insight! I am new to smoking foods, but this video definitely provided great descriptions of the different flavors that I don't have to test out in trial and error. Again, thank you!

I'm in Ecuador and surrounded by acacia trees, from what I read, acacia and mesquite are very similar. My friend in Tulsa said he's seen young, bougie smokers at competitions using it, but it is pretty expensive. Have you had a chance to use it? We're also surrounded by lime, lemon, and mango trees.... with all of which I'd like to experiment as well.

Also, what's your opinion of leaving bark on?

I have a dessert pear tree I cut down. It was supposed to be a dwarf but ended up being thirty feet. Is it good to use for smoking meat?

[timothyshaneschaefer]

Pecan with oak for wild game. Hands down. Pecan goes so good with deer

[TheJayaldae]

Where would allspice (Jamaican pimento—used for traditional jerk) fall on this spectrum?

[annsgal]
