I would be happy to bring you some back the next time I or one of my buds goes to our hunting property.. Your choice of Live Oak, Post Oak, or Shumard Red Oak..
One of us goes down almost every other weekend... It will be green but it will be ready to smoke with this fall...

Lang 36 Patio, a few Webers, 2 Eggs, plenty of gadgets and a MES 40 Gen 2.5 electric for bacon and sausage.
My best asset however is the inspiration from the members on this forum.
By the way pyrate I have one of my buddies (Smoke Doc) at the property this weekend, he may be able to bring some back!! Not sure how much he can fit in a Jeep Wrangler with a Lab in and out of the front seat..

This is where I disagree.. I find Hickory to be more sweet than Oak.. But if you use any wood in excess it will be harsh..
I wonder if it makes a difference where it grows. The hickory here is really strong. The hickory my brother gets in Virginia is much more mellow and maybe sweeter too. Something to do with the climate difference.

It also could be type of Hickory Tree.. I bet he is getting Shagbark Hickory.. It is known as the best of the best of Hickory's and it grows quite plentiful in his neck of the woods..

I used pecan religiously in the Kansas City area. But when i moved to New Orleans and had a 60 ft pecan tree in my back yard. Even the dry cured limbs had an awful taste and smell!

I thin it's cause there is no "real" winter here, never freezes the ground. Prolly there too...or it might be the water... there

No trouble at all... He could cut and brings ome since it sitting right at camp in log form and he and I work in the North Dallas area (Valwood & I-35E) area..
Plus the only Oak that has been bagged I have seen in stores is that Jack Danial's whiskey barrel crap...

I like cooking on oak. Most of what I get is white and red oak, but I've never put any in my smokers. I just cook over a campfire sometimes covering the meat with a Weber lid to trap heat and smoke. It gives great flavor to everything I cook over the fire, but not the sweet smoky flavor of hickory. A slow cooked steak cooked over low oak coals is mighty tasty though.
