Oak is an entirely different flavor than mesquite. Oak is called the Queen of smoking woods and Hickory is called the King. I use red oak.

I have very limited experience with mesquite, but I think it is a much stronger flavor than oak.

Oak is good for beef, IMO. Try smoking a rib-eye with red oak to 80-90 degrees and finish it on the grill...FANTASTIC!

Pastrami with red oak is very good, and brisket also...or a chuck roast.
