Apple wood is nowhere near as strong as hickory or mesq; however, TBS (thin, blue smoke) is still the appropriate order of the day. I love smoking with fruit woods.
Been using apple for 15 years.....my favorite, and there are always apple trees around that need trimming.

Apple and Cherry are probably the most popular of the fruit woods used in smoking. They are compatible with many hardwoods, including mesquite and hickory. I usually mix the fruit woods with some type of hardwood.
True, but that is Internally only. The surface area will take on smoke thru out the cook.

How long does the wood, either cherry or apple, have to dry out before it can be used? I recently used some of my cherry wood, cut only last week, and soaked for only an hour, before cooking, and I'm guessing it either hadn't soaked long enough, or was too green from the start, as it burned up very quickly. My BBQ was great though. Any thoughts on this?

Plum Wood: The flavor is milder and sweeter than hickory. Good with most meats, great on most white or pink meats, including chicken, turkey, pork and fish.

Apple and cherry are favorites. I like mixing them with the others, especially with oak, maple and pecan

Thrifty Token,
That is a great list, i have printed it out and it now lives in my permanent smoking binder. Here in the west most of the fire wood is pine or other conifers. Fruit wood is a bit more rare so we hold onto what we find.
thanks again.

I've always done apple, on my last Pork Butt I had to make a store run for more chunks, I wish I was lucky enough to have it grow on trees.
