I like hickory for a good smoke flavor, and use a lot of cherry when I want a milder smoke. I usually put some oak in too because oak is everywhere here and it gives a "taste of home" taste.

I use a lot of different woods for different sausages, but my all-around favorite is swamp hickory.

I use about 8 types of wood, but Hickory, and Apple are my favorites. Try applewood smoked bacon, and you will never use another wood to make bacon again.

I use mostly Hickory. #2 would be Apple and #3 would be Maple. Mostly it's what ever sounds good today!

All the old timers, including my uncle use hickory for flavor, mostly cherry for the color. So blending is key from my neck of the woods.. Everyone tells me cherry always for kielbasa.
Oh you wanted to know why..... The smell of apple wood used by the local butchers in the Scranton area who made kielbasa in their smokehouses in the back of their establishments.. It gave a an aroma that was UN surpassing and the perfect flavor added to the kielbasa........Oh what a feeling............

I just made a 15 pound batch of spareribs, smoked for 6-7 hours using a combination of hickory and apple (30/70% ratio). The ribs get the dose of the stronger hickory flavor, plus develop a lovely red ring, but also have the sweet & 'mellowness' I like from the applewood. This is definitely my favorite wood combo—right now.

Right now it is Pecan……But I have used Oak, Hickory, Apple and Cherry in the past…..Pecan is just what mood I’m in right now……

I like pecan the most for everything because it's what I grew up on and I like the flavor. I have been using alot of different woods lately though. My last batch i used apple, cherry and hickory mixed.
Hickory, apple, peach, cherry & pecan.
But i really really like Sassafras (hard to get here)
