What kind of flavor does oak give off.

I always thought it would be real strong.

I have access to alot of dead red and white oak.
 
Do it. Bro in law does nothing but, which is about all he's got around there. Always good. Like fruit wood mixed in with mine. To tell the truth I like fruitwood all the way, but have nothing against oak or any hard wood. Not a specialist mind you, but it is all good to me.
 
Thanks.  Keep in mind I use hickory for everything.

Which I cut on the farm.

I have alot of standing red and white oak too.
 
Thanks Danny.

I use hickory for everything. Unless I am smoking food for others.
 
I am going to try some white oak this weekend.
 
I don't guess it does. Bro in law just cuts down oaks, and there are so many species who knows, it taste fine. What I do figure is that white oak smells alot like pecan.
 
I hope it does taste like pecan.
 
Sweet. I am going to do a stuffed pork loin tomorrow and am going to try it.
 
Hello, just found the site and joind looks like I will learn a lot here my first post, I have a lot of red oak planer shaveings from a wood project I saved in anticipation, also have a lot of hedgeapple (osage orange) wood around good to use? Just took a hog in for butcher yesterday looking forward to trying my first smokeing bacon.
 
Talob, jump into roll call to introduce yourself and what type of smoker you have and location so others will be able to help.

Welcome
 
I will be using red oak for a brisket smoke this weekend.  Will be my first time using oak.  I've heard that red oak gives beef a great flavor and color.  We'll see!
 
Let us know how it turns out.

I have been using white oak.
