I use it for hot and fast grilling all the time, but have not tried smoking with it.

Use Red Oak all the time for smoking. Very good on Beef. Pretty good on Pork.

Red Oak - bad, send to me and I'll dispose
Don't let these guys throw you off - they're very competitive and will take any and all opportunities to make you doubt your BBQ skills! Red Oak is absolutely horrible for any kind of cooking. You send all you can find to me immediately and at your expense. I will dispose of it properly and you can rest assured that your reputation will remain intact.

The best commercially produced smoked sausage in East Texas is smoked using nothing but Red Oak.

Red oak = red meat

Red Oak is the "other" BBQ wood after Hickory. I often use it as a base wood and add some cherry or apple to go along with it depending on whether I'm cooking beef or pork. It gives a nice smopky flavor not as strong as Hickory but heavier and not as sweet as the fruit woods. IMO
