Shagbark Hickory
When using hickory to smoke with, is there a certain species that is better than another? Around here we have mostly shagbark, which I've read is closely related to pecan. Anyone use a variety of hickory notice a difference in the taste?

Shagbark reminds me of southern (Texas) hickory, not pecan. It's what we have in Maine too.

Never used pecan, nor seen it for that matter. Just going off what I've read. plan to cut down a Shagbark in a week or so. Should be good to use next summer. Got some Ash, Walnut, Cherry, and a few others to pick up. If you can't tell, I've made a few friends with ample amounts of wood with my smoking. I'd better get out the saw and get busy.
