Hi all, I'm curious if anybody has any experience with the oak found in the northwest, west of the mountains. I'm in Washington state and have a friend with a few oak trees. He said I can take all the fallen branches I want.
I've never smoked with oak before, but my buddy swears by it for his brisket. He uses the oak Traeger pellets. I like to keep it traditional with locally sourced wood, so I'm gonna give our local oak a shot, unless of course, you all say it's not very good.
Here are the names Wikipedia has for this oak grown in Washington: Quercus garryana, the Garry oak, Oregon white oak, Oregon oak, or Hu'dshnam.
