Oak Cooking Wood gives meat a medium smoky flavor with no aftertaste; more than apple and cherry, but less than hickory. It’s great with almost all meats: beef, poultry, pork, even fish.
Oak is great on its own and for adding more smoke flavor when cooking with Apple, Cherry, and Maple. It is also often mixed with Hickory to reduce smoke flavor.
White Oak is the most popular cooking wood and is fairly common in North Carolina.
