I've always used hickory but have a line on some good oak. Choice between red or white. Looking for input.

I think you should bring some over to the new ranch and input some of it in my garage....

In my neck of the woods it's about all we have (unless you're lucky enough to find bitternut hickory). I've used red oak often and like it.

That could be arranged for the right price

I'm going to need a new supplier now that my treeline belongs to someone else...

I prefer white oak, haven't had much luck with red oak., All the red that I have gotten was to resinous for my taste.

I use both red oak and live oak, that I cut locally, and season in my yard.

I have found that the red oak needs a longer seasoning than the live oak, which is a white oak.

Red oak, IMO, seems to cook more like hickory. It seems to be a stronger smoke. The live oak seems to be more subtle -- more like pecan.
