While some pit-masters and hobbyist cooks are perfectly fine with using pecan wood for smoking, there is disagreement. The idea that an excessive use of pecan wood while smoking and barbecuing leads to a pervasive odor within the meat its used to smoke is nonsense. Some of those pit-masters will exclusively stick to pecan wood and all without it overpowering all the other seasonings and flavors that are being smoked.

Soaking pecan wood chips in water for about 30 minutes generates steam that adds moisture and heat to the smoking process. This method also prolongs burning time which is perfect when smoking brisket.
