I don't think mesquite would be a good match with gator.
A fruitwood (say apple or cherry) would probably go better with the pineapple brine.

Not sure on gator. Is the meat tough? What texture? How about using a breast size portion and make these with pineapple instead of chile.

If you have any luck smoking it, please let me know how you did it. I never was able to do anything with it on the smoker that really pleased me.
Good luck

1. Fruitwood is good. Cherry is best, to me.
2. Gator will suck up smoke like a champ, so be careful of oversmoking. 3. Unless is is a young gator, it will get real "firm" when cooked. I tend to tenderize it with a cleaver [dull side, not sharp] or a jaccard before cooking. 4. Too lean to cook to high temps, you want an internal more like you would for pork loin or chops, maybe 140-45 degrees. It has been awhile since I did much of this, but we used to do gator tail all the time, for snacks and appetizers. I like a real hot dipping sauce with it. Good luck, Nix

I forgot to say.
I never brined, so that might help. Also if you have access to Orange wood, it is another good choice.
