I got a good deal on some pecan and i was planning to use it to build patio furniture. I don’t know much about pecan and I’m having trouble finding much info about it. Is this a good wood for outdoor use or should i find an indoor project for it?

Yup.
Also, for OP, pecan is basically interchangeable with hickory. They’re extremely close as trees and similar as lumber.
Thanks. I saw that in a couple of articles - said they were indistinguishable but also said pecan was bad for outdoor but hickory was good. That’s why i reached out to you guys.
Pecan is literally a hickory, carya Illinoinensis, the Illinois hickory.
