I use mesquite mixed wit red oak for beef. I also like grilling lamb or chicken over a livefire of it. Burns HOT with a very distinct aroma and taste. Also burns longer than anything else. A green mesquite stump is damn near impossible to burn out. Wrapped in coal oil soaked cloth to get it hot enough to catch, then will burn for days.

@Huskie,
As others have said, mesquite burns hot and long. When my supply is sound, I use it straight up. I will mix with oak if my stockpile is getting skinny. I don't find it at all strong or overpowering, but it does need to be well seasoned. .I will use it for brisket, pork butt, ribs or chicken. It matters not to me.Last edited by Scout789; March 1, 2020, 07:45 PM.
