Going the smoke a brisket this weekend. Any suggestions on the kind of wood to use?

A real briskey right?Like a cow type??? I am scared to reply to you or Spanky's meat questions.

APPLE IF YOU CAN GET IT...
PECAN IF NOT

Poison Ivy works good. Kinda harsh on your throat, but I guess your used to that.

Spanky

Well seasoned mess-skeet, then throw on a chunk of green every now and then, small chunk.

Also some Tulips but try not to hurt the daisys whilst collecting them

Oak

cedar

pecan, I use that on everything these days.

Hickory or mesquite.....if you could find apple or pecan that would be fantabulous.

You can find pecan at just about any Kroger or Albertson’s here in Dallas. You can just drive by, and look for the “yellow” bags out front to see if they them in stock ($10 a bag). I think the purple bags are mesquite and the red bags are hickory. But go pecan though brotha, there is no during back!!! There is also a wood yard on 75 north of 121 a ways, can remember how far, but you can get it there too for a better price.

Big Johns wood yard is on 377 out past Beenbrook. That is where all the bagged wood comes from they specialize in bbq woods. Have just about any you would want to try.

I would go with RATMO's suggestion, and maybe add a little oak wood, it gives it a good flavor. Some of the best Lora and I ever had was up in Colorado and it had been smoked over apple wood. I have tried both hickory and pecan, and just prefer mesquite. JMO
