I'm sure tom meant this link, it's our usual reference:

Also, I have never tried Mesquite because I have read how strong it is if used in the Cookshacks--is it really too strong if you really like smoke flavor?


Brett,

Mesquite isn't just a stronger smoke, it's a different taste altogether. It's fine for grilling (in Texas when I lived there, most restaurants used it for grillin')

Guess my question is are you just trying for more intense smoke or different flavor? It really is a subjective thing and we can suggest some ideas. For most 6 oz is too much, so it is an individual thing.

Let me know and I can suggest.
