I say we just had this discussion about a week or so back ( http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...php?t=147556); I don't think it's any stronger, but then I'm no Aaron Franklin. It would be interesting to know which type of hickory he is comparing pecan with though...
Personally I favor pecan for long cooks and just about any meat.
