Food smoking

[2LaneCruzer]

There are several different woods that are used for smoking over here and each gives a slightly different flavor. I'd suggest that you try different woods to see which you prefer. Maybe freeze a sample from each and after you have several different ones ready, set them out for a taste test.

I use primarily oak because that's what's available on my property. Next year I'll have hickory available (it's currently drying), but no fruit wood or mesquite is available.

I get my Mesquite at Academy Sports store; they also have it here at Ace Hardware and I believe I saw some at Tractor Supply. Don't know about using it on fish, but it is great on baby back ribs...along with a bit of Pecan and Blackjack.
