re: Your favorite smoking wood to use

I prefer pine. After soaking it obviously.


































Not really. Cherry is my personal favorite.

If someone were to put three pieces of brisket in front of you that were all smoked with different wood, would you be able to tell the difference?

Someone like Aaron Franklin probably would have the only shot at it lol. Would have to use the simple salt/pepper rub he does on it too. The differences between the mild woods and fruit woods would be super tough though.

Pecan overall. Green hickory is my favorite but I only use it for homemade bacon and a few other goodies.
Before anybody gives me shite about using green wood, green hickory is the only wood you can smoke with and it doesn't taste like bitter soot. My family has been using it for 4 generations.

Around 80% white oak, 20% hickory. Will use a little pecan at times. Throw in some Cherry when cooking poultry.

I keep cherry, Apple, hickory, pecan, and peach on hand.

Cherry is my favorite.

Green?

Popeye used to get wood from Olive.

For short time cooking Mesquite in a small foil pouch.

Hickory for multi hour smoking.

I am a hickory man, but fruitwood is always good.

Only thing I won't touch is mesquite :yak:
