A wide variety of mesquite-flavored products are available, including mesquite smoke powder or liquid, seasoning blends, dry rubs and barbecue sauces. Mesquite flavoring is also used in snack foods, such as potato chips, popcorn and jerky.
The thing about mesquite, once you pick up on it's flavor, you always know it's there. With other woods, it can be difficult to tell where the wood flavor came from, but mesquite kinds of slaps you in the face and says Hey, I'm here!. If you like the taste of mesquite (which I do) that is a good thing. If you don't, then well, it can be a little overpowering. I mainly use it for fast, high heat grilling when I want to push a lot of smokey flavor in a short amount of time, like grilled pork chops.
