Help me settler a argument please.
Years and years ago I got into smoking. Since then I’ve turned most of my buddies onto it. This is how it happens every time. I help them decide what type of smoker best fits the way they want to cook or I help them build one, or I build them a smoker.
I answer tons of questions at first that shortens their learning curve tremendously. I learned by trial and error until I found this site and then learned much quicker. They all listen to about 90% of what I tell them before they start to do things on their own. They all have became good at Q’ing over time. Eventually they all start to think they know more than me and that’s ok. Maybe some do but this argument is driving me crazy. Partly because I’m not sure I’m right but I don’t want to give up to them. I’m listing these in alphabetical order so there’s no persuasion. Hickory, Mesquite, White Oak. Please list in order your thoughts on which is the strongest smoke flavor. #1 will be the most Smokey and so on from there. Thanks |

Mesquite on top by a long long long mile
I’m not a fan given its strength. And I think it’s bitter too. Strong and bitter |

Mesquite, Hickory, Oak.
The only mesquite I've ever used is chunks but I learned a little goes a long way.

Mesquite, white oak, then hickory.
BUT, I'm not sure if the oak smoked food I had years ago was with white, red, black, water, who knows. I know it did turn me off to oak for cooking.

I don't use them so can't say. I like Cherry on pork, Pecan on beef, and Apple is wonderful on anything.

I have to ask - are your buddies aware that the less seasoned ANY type of wood is, the stronger the smoke is going to be?
I understand that some woods have a stronger smoke than others, but the amount of seasoning is a factor also. Edit: Sorry Texas pete, I'm pretty slow with typing.

Agree with the above comments. But that brings up a question, what is your opinion and the opinion of your friends? Just curious.
