mesquite as driftwood

[spencelee10]

I live in north Texas and the only real trees available are mesquite trees. They're a very hard wood and I'm wondering if I can use some as driftwood for my 10 gallon

Can anyone help?

No first hand info, but I would avoid it and confine it to the smoker based on this.

That's a great article. I'll have to keep it in mind when I go scavenging.
