Mesquite logs

[Ernest]

I got a small electric chainsaw that worked well for mesquite but got crushed by hickory.
Chain got derailed, I got pissed off and left the thing in the backyard.

I just had mesquite Chicken. Let's just say bones were crushed. It was GUUD!

DWCowles those and Craigslist folks can't be trusted. I did get a somewhat good source for the time being. Until I get a saw or something.

Mesquite chunks did well for my first meatloaf.

I got a BUNCH of post oak, split and going to be split.

only thing I have used is mesquite charcoal and it burns hot and fast pops and snorts a lot also but cooks real good in a Santa Maria style grill

If you burn mesquite in a stickburner with a hot burn it'll probably be pretty good. The trouble is smoldering mesquite as chunks on charcoal.

Look for post oak.

Ernest be careful with tree services bc they will tell you it's a fruit tree when it might be something else

I got 40 pounds for $12 for experimenting

[Ernest]

Yeah I'm looking into a few tree services.

I dont know anything about mesquite logs, but the chunks I use on my charcoal can be kinda strong...

I had an idea, are there any fruit growers/farmers around your area??? They are always replacing trees... just an idea.

Ernest Mesquite wood good smoking wood but it has a stronger smoke flavor. You might want to try a sample before getting a lot of it.

Has anyone used mesquite logs in stick burner? Mesquite is quite cheap in Texas but I've never used it in chunks. I always stayed away from it due to horror stories.
