  1. I know you guys mostly cook with oak, but what about other hardwoods? Are there any advantages/disadvantages to using other type of woods? any differences in flavor?

  2. Hi VM,
    Interesting question. First off, we want to explain that there are no hard and fast rules with what types of wood to use. We just recommend that you stay away from soft woods- because of the burning temperature.

    You should use what is readily available in your area. All woods burn at different BTUs and climate is important to take into consideration- fruit and nut woods are great for live-fire cooking. Mesquite is also an intense and pungent flavor, however burns very hot and quickly.

    Experiment- let us know what worked best for you!
