I don't grill with wood but do burn alot in offset pits.
Most of our local wood is white oak or hickory. Oak is
a great wood--very sweet mild smell. I would have no
hesitency in my mind in burning seasoned white oak for anything.
As an aside we used to just buy bundles of mixed local hardwood
from the gas station and take off to a competition with great results. Now we use straight hickory. I think if is a good hardwood that is seasoned it doesn't make much difference.
Hickory does have a slight "peppery" smell, but the meat always comes out about the same. What is madrone? good luck. js
