Medium-strong, classic 'woodsy' flavor without the pungency of hickory.

Beef Pork Heavy Game

While Post Oak is a specific variety, general Red or White Oak is also excellent. It is stronger than fruit woods but milder than mesquite or hickory. It is a very reliable ‘workhorse’ wood that provides a traditional BBQ flavor profile.
