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.

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

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.
