    Wood suggestions for a newby

    Saturday I'm smoking two racks of spares for the first try with my smoker.  I have oak and mesquite at home and plan to get some pecan and apple tomorrow as I play around with the smoker.  My question is, what wood should I use for the ribs?   Thanks for the advice, Curt.
