Mesquite

I do not see mesquite wood mentioned anywhere. Is that a safe wood for a chin? Has anybody ever given it to their chin?

I could only find this one reference, where someone says it's not safe. See this thread.

I wouldn't use it, and I have thousands of acres of it readily available to me. It's very oily and aromatic - that's why it is burned and used in barbequing meat, the smoke ends up being very oily, too. It really is best to not use it.
