    Best Wood for Smoked Sausage

    I'm planning on cold smoking some pork sausage. What would you guys like best? I know I still have to wait until it cools down but figure it doesn't hurt to know ahead of time.

    Pecan has always worked well for me. Good flavor and never had a complaint about it being “overpowered”.

                We’ve always used live oak, I know a lot of people that use pecan, not sure about the cow pattie thing.

                  Cow patties make lots of smoke and very little heat. Just dried grass anyways.

                    Yeah, but it tastes like ****. . JK

                    Oak bark and pecan it was I prefer. I will soak a few pieces of pecan for a couple days in water also. It helps keep a slow smoke and prevents it from burning too fast or hot. I just add them after I have coals.

                      Pecan is hard to beat.

                        Gracias

                        Thanks, guys. I'll probably use a smoke tube once the temps drop. Been making some wild hog green Chile/cheese brats.

                          We use live oak bark. Build a fire outside your smoker / smokehouse. Add a shovel full or two of hot coals to your fire box, then put oak bark on top to smolder. If it's burning too hot dip the bark in water first.

                            We use post oak or pecan. I can’t tell the difference.
