The Best way to Cook a Smoked Chicken or Turkey

[Landotter1]

Mesquite and Pecan are way different. I have had no luck smoking with pecan. Food always bitter. I have only known 2 people who can smoke with pecan and it was awesome. Mesquite is also a strong flavor and burns really hot. I love mesquite smoke but I also love oak. Emril is right. Hickory is a smoking standard. All bacon and ham at the store is hickory smoked. Mesquite needs to be controlled or it can be overwhelming. Pecan too. I buy mesquite at home depot or lowes, in a 50 pound bag. 12.00

Fig wood is pretty wild for smoke it smells like coconut.

In Virginia the woods of choice are white oak and apple. Smoking woods tend to change with regional availability. Any fruit or nut wood is a good smoking wood.

how did this guy become famous? I think its just cause he is loud and obnoxiously tries to be funny and entertains his audience, because his cooking honestly sucks. He is sloppy and if you are a trained cook u can notice he makes tons of mistakes on show and just tries to cover them up.
