What do you use mesquite for?

[BBQ_Ben]

I find myself with a box of mesquite pucks, and I'm not sure what to smoke with them.  I tend to think of mesquite as a wood to grill steak over...I suppose I could do a reverse sear on some steaks?  An hour of smoke at 130-140, let them rest then give them a quick sear for crust.

What do you like to pair with mesquites?

Nothing.   I find it too powerful and bitter.

Beef. (Brisket, ribs, steaks, prim rib, etc.) If you like a mild smoke then smoke for less time.

I use it for Venison Jerky.Nice smoke flavor.

Any wild meat.  Deer, bear, goose.  Mesquite has the required bite for stronger meats.

That said, I don't use them exclusively.  The last goose Jerky I made I used 1 mesquite puck for every 3 cherry that I used (alternate in stack)
