Ooooops. it's white oak that makes it sour... **** oak we call it or
swamp oak... Sorry for the other post, I am sure it will turn into a
huge pee pee measuring contest for some here
You know what? I never asked which oak. You may have something there. I'll have to check it out in a
little more detail. Thanks.

I think he is talking about black oak AKA pin oak. It is the one with
the skeleton like leaves.
White oak has rounder leaves without all the sharp points and makes
great fire wood or flooring because it has a very straight grain. You
can split a pretty big log with a hatchet.
Red oak is what they make a lot of furniture out of. The grain is not
as straight and it is stronger. It is good firewood too but harder to
split. I think I would want white oak for smoking but that is just a
guess.
Yeah, I am totally confused.. I have no idea which oak I am supposed to
use. Guess I will have to stick with the chunk of hickory I have here...
