That's the truth!
I've learned that if you gotta shut the vent to keep it low-n-slow, then you're either doing something wrong, or you need to modify your smoker. I tend the fire, and not the vent, and if your smoke is right you can use 100% hickory, no problem. I don't know about smoking w/ 100% red oak, but white oak for brisket or mixed w/ hickory is superb. Of course, I've always heard that oak leaves the longest lasting coals.
