All I know is that some of that wood flavors up my pork butts, brisket, ribs, fish, chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, sausage, pork chops and steaks really well when I slow cook, smoke or grill them.  I hate to admit this but that wood gives the vegetables I cook on the grill a real good flavor too.  Asparagus, different squashes, mushrooms, corn on the cob, potatoes, onions, cherry tomatoes and bell peppers all work well. 

I use hickory, mesquite, pecan, apple or cherry wood depending on what I'm cooking.  I sure hope I never have a reason to use my HDY stock certificates for that. 

Can you tell I am already thinking about Memorial Day?  Let's close strong today heading in the Memorial Day Weekend.  Happy Holiday to all.
