Mesquite can be a very strong flavored wood, stronger than Hickory and some do not like it. I grew up using Measquite - and happen to be fond of the flavor. Most folks prefer it with red meats - but I even like Mesquite smoked chicken breasts wrapped witha strip or two of bacon, and topped off with Longhorn cheddar, or Monterray Jack near the end of the cook.
Let us know what you think when you use it Phil.
Best!
