| Finally someone out there is preaching what texans have known for years.I too love mesquite and am from south texas.Edinburg to be exact but I live in colorado now. I have noticed for some reason that the judges in the kcbs no matter how light the flavor is dont like mesquite.Maybe I am wrong and hopefully somebody else who has competed and won with mesquite will chime in. |

Choice of wood is like choice of booze. Everybody has their favorites and can't stand the others. The difference is with booze you have an excuse for saying things you shoudn't. |
My sentiments exactly.
My choice wood is Texas wild plum, but I like em all when used right.
My choice of booze is brandy  |

I was also going to add that I used to use an upright with the meat directly over the flame, and if you know what your doing and can control the fire it can be awesome.
I recently built myself an offset to allow me to cook more food for my growing family.
But you wont hear me knocking the direct style at all. |

it's probably the candied ribs have affected their taste buds... 
The key to mesquite use is the key to any BBQ - it takes a lot of practice to do it well. If you use mesquite like any other Q wood, you might well have bad results.
