Hi Ken ..i have never smoked with oak but i can post this from the Wiki on this site.

OAK - Heavy smoke flavor. Red oak is good on ribs, white oak makes the best coals for longer burning. Good with red meat, fish and heavy game.

Hope this helps.

I smoke beef with oak. And I grill beef with red oak chunks. Its' the bomb for grilled Tri Tip. It's all good my friend.

Oak produces mild smoke compared to Hickory

The smoke is not overpowering

My neighbor gave me 6 cut whiskey barrels made from oak, they were cut about 6 inchs from the top for a design project. I used the staves for smoking and it created an incredible flavor. I have a bin full and I will be upset when it is gone. I like the flavor of oak on red meat. Have not tried it on fish yet???
