    Definite yes on the EZ up - I'm bringing mine too. Bringing a brisket and bread - we will see how that works out. If it's not on the smoker by 6:00 AM, I don't know what to do - but I've got to smoke it after work on Thursday - might be a late night. At least it's over Vaq's mesquite. Sterling was an oak man though - might have to re-asses on the wood.

    Start on mesquite. A couple of hours, then switch to oak or Hickory.
    . It's a mellower taste. I prefer the mesquite through and through. But, i had some oak smoked brisket last week that was really moist and tender. It just lacked the mesquite flavor that I love.

    I'm with you on that. I really like post oak too - but that's not common down here - Live oak is too oily and funky. I've smoked some good briskets on Pecan though - it's a very light smoke though. My only problem with mesquite is that it burns so damn hot - hard to keep the temperature low with it. Never used hickory in my life. I'll figure it out.

    I use an oak base and add mesquite or pecan for flavor. But I’m out of mesquite. I do have some chunks of hickory. I’ll use that on the pork.

    I think I’ve smoked my last piece of meat on my smoker. My firebox has holes in the bottom and was dropping ash and coals all day.

    26 years and lots of meat cooked on it. Now what to replace it with…..
