Your choice of wood for comps
I am originally from KC and up there we use a lot of Pecan. I am noticing in Tx, it seems like pecan is too mild and most people are using or prefer the taste of a bit stronger smoke. So now I'm thinking about switching to Hickory or Post Oak.
What do y'all prefer for IBCA cooks?

Post Oak is my preference. It's a little stronger than Pecan but not much (IMO). It does give a much longer burn than Pecan and (for me) is a lot easier to find.

Re: Your choice of wood for comps
I have tons of post oak on my place. I don't find it any stronger than pecan, or very slightly so.

Mostly pecan but it's getting real hard to find. May have to switch to hickory.

Can't talk for Texas, but you can't go wrong with Red Oak and Pecan.

Pretty much oak. I know a lot of teams here use pecan. I'm not a huge fan.

Pecan for smoking beef, Hickory for pigs and birds. Mesquite for grilling and steaks, burns hot as a torch. You can reliably get bags of Hickory and Pecan splits and chunks at Academy sports stores all over Texas, hallelujah.
