"I'm Terry and today I'm going to give you tips on smoking a beef brisket. Okay there is a lot of different woods that you can use to smoke. There is oak, hickory, mesquite. I use the mesquite; it is the most available pecan is really good, apple is really good this is what we use for pork. Pecan is my favorite the reason I like pecan is because it has taste of mesquite but it does not have the quiet zingy really smoky flavor, it is more of a sweet flavor. If you use apple you use less barbecue sauce or less apple cider vinegar. You get a really good smoking flavor out of pecan wood. If that is not available and you can get mesquite you can't pick up pecan at any grocery store but it usually, you can find a bag of mesquite just about anywhere. Hickory is okay if you like Kansas style, it will give you that hickory flavor. All woods are good to smoke with most fruit trees are good to cook with I have even tried pear wood. But it is so small and limited that it is hard to get a hold of. Also not many people want to volunteer to chop down their pear trees, there is not that many around. So anyway by preferred is pecan wood, try that and I think that most of you would agree."
