I have used Mesquite on both ribs and brisket, and actually enjoyed all of my burnt offerings. I think the flavor is decidedly stronger, but not as intrusive as some feel it is, and actually both ribs and brisket tasted even better the next day.

Hi Bill,
My rule has alway's been."As long as it works for you, that's all that matters" [:D]

I currently have Maple, Hickory, Apple and Mesquite on hand. I like the Apple for bacon and cheese. I thought I made a mistake purchasing the 120 of Mesquite but have used it for ribs and brisket and have been happy with the results. Last couple of times I did ribs I used 1 Mesquite to 2 Hickory. Not sure if I could tell the difference. I think the thing to do is to smoke two batches, 1 with Mesquite and 1 with Mesquite/Hickory. The truth is I havent smoked anything that came out inedible.
