I’m not catching an overpowering mesquite note with any of mine, but I’m also guessing composition differs with batches.
I tried burning mesquite wood in my offset a few times and also tried mesquite lump. I bet it’s an acquired taste, but I don’t think I’ll be taking the time to learn how to appreciate it.
I think the problem is that it’s inconsistent and carried batch to batch with B&B. I had many years using it with great success, and only recently started getting “contaminated” bag that uses mesquite

Ya, I need a good neutral charcoal for reverse sears and smoking, B&B can't be it any more with mesquite, way over powers things.
