Apple or Mesquite

Go ahead and get both. The good thing about using the sawdust is that you can mix for the profile that you want. I have oak, hickory, mesquite, and cherry, and I mix them depending on what I’m cooking.

I think I am going to need a shipping discount. LOL. I guess we will see what comes out in the livecast.

lkrfletcher First, got your almonds, I have taste tested them but have saved the majority for our livestream and they are excellent, thank you! Second, I always say Mesquite and Hickory are good for hearty meats like beef and pork but for things like chicken or fish, or non meat items I would go towards the fruit woods. I use a LOT of pecan chips/pellets. It is a nice compromise as it is much more mild than Hickory or Mesquite but not nearly as expensive as the Fruit Woods!

lkrfletcher i waited til they did a free shipping on the live cast. It still ended up being $12.99 for shipping but better than $45. It was right at the time of Mr Walton passing. I just considered it a small donation for their loss.

Apple is a must have. Haven’t used mesquite in forever. Been using a lot of alder the last few months. Just a nice wood taste without imparting a particular flavor. Also been mixing the alder with maple, cherry and apple depending on what’s being smoked.

twilliams Yreah unfortunately unless you are buying the 2 lb bags of sawdust/pellets there is an upcharge so while the standard shipping ($10.99 or whatever it is) the upcharge will still be there, which can be pretty expensive. It’s been a busy year at Walton’s filled with both good and bad things, we’ve faced a lot of challenges but are handling them (as best we can) and trying to come out stronger!
