First order of Smokinlicious!!!
« on: December 30, 2017, 02:17:08 PM »
Received my first shipment of Smokinlicious Wood today. Ordered it on Thursday, December 28th and it arrived today, December 30th. Can't wait to get 'em in the smoker to see how they do. I've heard nothing but good things.

1 cubic foot of double filet
Hickory
White Oak
Wild Cherry

My top 3 favorites! I've come to really like oak on beef. Maple is right up there tied for 3rd or a close 4th. You can just see (and feel) the quality of the smokinlicious vs. the big box store wood. You'll smell the difference too.

I think I will be as well.  I really like the Smokin-It woods, but I just wanted to try something different.

Thanks,

No doubt.  As soon as I opened the box I immediately stuck a filet of each to my nose.  The aroma was very fragrant. 

This will be my first try at smoking with oak.  I'm really looking forward to it.

Thanks,

I got the same distribution of wood from smokinlicious about a year ago, and still have a good half the box left.    You will get a lot of smoking out of that box of wood.     I highly recommend the oak for beef smokes.

I reciev d that same selection last year, white oak as the oak selection. I have read many posts from others stating they like sugar maple as well, so I just ordered another small box with sugar maple and red oak. With the big box and now this smaller box coming, I won’t have to order for a while.

But you will enjoy the selection, and others have said the oak with beef is wonderful. Especially tri tip for a quick, easy smoke.

That's great to hear.  I'm really looking forward to giving the wood a go this weekend.  Not sure what I'm going to smoke yet, but I'm going to smoke something!!!

I knew for sure that I wanted the hickory and the cherry.  Wasn't sure about my 3rd pick so I thought I'd just get the oak because I have never used it and all the Texas guys swear by it.  We'll see how it goes.  Can't wait.  I'm hoping this box lasts a while.  If I can get through the year I'll be happy.  I smoke nearly every weekend since getting my #2.

next time give maple a chance, smells great when it's smoking.. cherry is best on poultry. I like hickory on pork but had good luck with cherry. Maple does well with poultry, pork and lamb

Thanks for the suggestion.  I'll for sure give it a go.  I love experimenting with different woods.

What's the difference in taste/smoke profile between white and red oak?

Rich, honestly they are very similar. In my opinion white oak may have a slightly "lighter" taste than the red oak but I doubt there are very many people, if any, that can taste a piece of meat that has been smoked with oak and say "Oh, that's white oak" or "Oh, that's red oak."
