I am smoking brisket in a small competition in September and have been working to get my smoking skills up to par.

I am pretty happy w/ everything and now just making final decisions on meat, wood, temp.. etc. Well I have been using a combo of Pecan/Hickory, but found myself in Luling TX and stood in the 2 hour line at City Market BBQ. Since that day i have been HAUNTED by the smoke on the brisket. So iv been on the hunt for Post Oak for the past couple of weeks and have been coming up empty on my search.

Today I stop at a local grocery store that has some bagged wood from time by the front doors. Low and behold among the hickory, pecan and piles of mesquite a stack of bags of Post Oak!! WOOHOO... I have 10 lbs of Post Oak behind my truck and now I am probably going to be lighting the WSM next weekend to see what kinda flavor i get out of this wood.

Just thought id share.

It occurs to me this may be the post that signifies that im getting old and domesticated in life. I am excited about "wood" and it is actually referring to something to burn. BOOOOOOO on life. :cool:

I hear you brother! Things that I found fascinating and that excited me as a kid (bikes, skateboards) I still love today, but man, I get EXCITED about a really NICE refrigerator! And don't even get me started on tools and auto parts...

Oh, and Aaron Franklin uses Post Oak too. He swears by it, so you're in good company...

Rusty,

I see that you are in the Houston area like me.

Search CL for BBQ Wood, there are a few places that sell what you are looking for.
This one is in Jersey Village:

Pat, i work very close to that guy, i gave him a call and all he has at the moment is Red Oak and i think Pecan. I found the Post Oak in Kingwood at Randal's of all places.

My next attack was to head down to a couple of the other places en-rooted deep in the city.

Rusty, it is not that we are getting old, it is that we are getting BETTER!!! Just get me started about my grand daughter and you won't get me to stop. Wife and I went to her sisters house for a party to announce the sex of their coming grand child. Nieces second child will be a girl. We had a blast as did all there. Talked a lot of BBQ also. May be getting older, but our priorities do change. As I said, we are getting MUCH BETTER!!!!
