Hickory Stronger Than Pecan, or Not?
It has not been my opinion or experience, but I was suprised to see that Aaron Franklin states that pecan is a stronger smoke than hickory in his BBQ with Franklin YouTube series.
What say the Brethren?

Can't say personally as I've never had any pecan wood to try.

The pecan I have was bagged from HEB in the Austin area. It is pretty dry, but is much milder than the bagged hickory I have used over the years.

I really wonder too if it makes a difference when you're doing a TOTAL wood fired cook VS charcoal/chunks.

He runs Franklin BBQ in Austin. It has made quite the splash in the news the last couple of years, but I would much rather eat your cooking, given the choice.

Pecan burns very hot.
I have always heard it referred to as " hickory lite"

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.
