Pin Oak?

[Its_Raw]

What is the pros/cons of smoking with pin oak? I do not have any currently, but it is fairly plentiful around here.

Thank you!

Treat it like Red Oak. It is in the same family. Make sure it is seasoned properly and give it try.

Not familiar with pin oak butI've used red oak before I found it to have a nice mild smoke flavor. As conradjw said they're probably all about the same.

We have pin oaks er'where (when we lived in Texas, er'where is a much greater distance than er'one else's everywhere) and I've used it quite extensively with odd tastes.

Go forth and smoke!

MrMac - you say it gives an odd taste? Anything to compare it to ?
