Reply to "Red Oak Bark"

Hate to go kicking old topics back to life..but..real interesting thread here..lol. I have a red oak in the front yard but not big enough to cook with yet. In general I love all Oak..especially in little tight running air conserving pits..so not sure what there be not to like about it. Now black jack Oak can be scary. Anyway..the good smoke flavor of nearly all trees is located in the bark. So the more bark you got the better it should smell and taste in a hypothetical scenario. Regular old Oak with no bark is like cooking over cardboard boxes. Now a couple of notable exceptions is Pee Can trees..the best flavor is in the nut shells. Now think this would also apply to hickory nut shells since they are in the same family of trees..but aint sure. Aint never had enough Hickory nut shells to do any science on that. Who knows?
