Mesquite Pellets

[Sparky51]

I was given a bag of Mesquite pellets as a gift, however I understand that they have a rather strong flavor.
Any recommendations on what to smoke with them?

[Jon Solberg]

Beef Ribs. Butts. Brisket.

[Aimless1]

Beef. All cuts.
Like it with pork chops as well.
Experiment. I don't find the flavor all that strong but you may.

For sure what Jon Solberg and Aimless1 just said. I have used Mesquite Pellets a lot with BEEF! They are my go to pellet with beef.

Sparky51 Let us know how that works out, Never tried mesquite.

[Sparky51]

Thanks for your input. So beef jerky my work well?

[Jon Solberg]

Yeah but man that's a bit of a waist in my opinion. Be sure to let up know how it turns out.

Never try mesquite pellets or wood but it’s on my to do list.

Do you guys get any Mesquite in Kentucky? I am guessing not.

I wish I could get a pick up load of the Hickory you folks have down there.

Spinaker I live in Southern IN near KY, so I found you this add on CL. for ya., I give a rip.

Selling firewood, I've mainly got oak and hickory wood. Selling it for $50 a truckload if you come and will deliver and stack for en extra charge depending on where you are located. I've got all you need. Shoot me a text at (270)-316-2077, thanks

I wish I could make the trip. I am up in Minnesota. I can't find Hickory up here. Thank you for the offer!

My experience with pellets, including Mesquite, is that it is a much milder flavor than what you get with wood logs or chunks (as with all flavors of wood). I have used mesquite pellets on everything but fish with success. Don't be afraid to try it.

[Sparky51]

Thanks jlazar. Going to start with some jerky next week just to get a taste for it. If that works it's off to bigger and better things

Spinaker Rural king farm supply store sell's them, in chunks, they will ship. If you do not have a store in Minnnasoooda

There is not any Mesquite in the mid west. It's much farther south

Awesome! Thanks!

Jumbo shrimp kebobs. Really!

Don’t think your pellet pooper going to put out enough smoke to leave a lot of impact on your cook anyway, regardless of the pellet used...
