Here is my second attempt with my new smoker - chicken breasts w/rib meat
I used an offset Brinkmann Outdoor Living Model #810-3016-S. I used mesquite wood.Looks good! What type of wood and smoker?
I used mesquite wood and marinated the chicken overnight in Stubb's BBQ sauceTry some maple sometime. My favorite and usual mix is pecan and cherry. What did you season it with?
Couldn't agree more...personal preference. Whatever hits your palette right. I don't hate mesquite, but just like other woods better. Apple and pecan are my go-to woods for poultry and pork. For beef, it's almost always hickory but if I have a little mesquite around I'll throw it in there, too.Not at all Steve. I was curious bc a lot of folks don't like mesquite. I usually use a bit of that along w hickory on my pulled pork. It seems like the general feeling among people on here is that it is too strong and earthy. End of the day it's all about personal preference.

Agree and agree. I have used pecan, peach, hickory, cherry, mesquite, apple, red oak, and white oak. Around here, all the BBQ restaurants and my family are oak smokers, so all of my smoking experiences were always oak. That is what I prefer. Doesn't mean it is best, it's just what I'm used to, and I LIKE IT.

Mesquite, to me, is a little like the argument between highland and lowland single malt scotch. The highland is cleaner and sweeter tasting (fruit woods, by comparison), while the lowlands are earthier and peaty (mesquite). The debates rage on both sides.
