For the last 5 years or so I have been inter changing mesquite and hickory. Whatever was available. To be honest I would have to taste both side by side to see what kind of difference there is. They are both strong. I have only recently started using apple and cherry. I'm still learning. As far as your question keep the mesquite. Most of the negatives comments I have seen where dealing with seafood.
