The Hot Pepper

I have never tried using oak for smoking meat... Always stuck to hickory, mesquite, apple and cherry. Does oak give it a pretty good flavor?

Yep Southern Oak is used by many folk down here, I also get bagged chips tah throw a twist in.

Oak rules for smoking. Red or white. It's good to mix with other woods too.

Good to know. There are a ton of oak trees around here. I have never heard of someone smoking with it. I need to broaden my horizons. I think my next pork loin is going to be smoked with oak wood. Thanks for the tip.

Also try steaks over an oak fire. It burns hot and even and adds great flavor.

can't wait to see some pics Rod!!!!!
