These came out amazing. Greens and beans and a few beers accompanied them well. Well worth the wait!

Oops, I didn't take any. Once those suckers hit the plates it was game on. Next time I'll be sure to include some bbq porn pics!

I loved the cherry wood. Much less acrid than hickory and mesquite and I didn't overdo the smoke which I did with mesquite on chicken my first smoke. I ordered a bag of pecan and bag of peach from Western which I'm really looking forward to trying.

Very nice.

I just did my first smoke with ribs last Sunday. I used hickory which was excellent, but I've been eye-balling both the cherry & pecan chips lately. How was the cherry?

To me cherry has a little bite to it. I enjoy the apple cherry combo.

I would go with Cherry as well.  You could do a mix of cherry and hickory but I personally  prefer all cherry to get em as sweet as can be.

I did my first smoke with ribs using Pecan and we loved it, my son did some ribs last summer with Cherry and I thought it was kind a strong, maybe less smoke on them???  I have some maple to try next batch of ribs.

 

[gary s]

Maple is good, Wife like Pecan the best.  So I go with it 90 % of the time

IF I could only use one (thank goodness that is not the case) it would be Cherry "hands down" - I do mostly cherry with some apple and hickory most times FWIW

 

[magslam]

Thanks Gary. I am humbled by your compliment, Master.

If I had to go with only one smoke wood it would be kiawe! Hands down no second place!

Since I have TONS of guava and ohia on my property I tend to use them more but I try to use kiawe whenever I can...

Guava is suppose to be very similar to Apple. Ohia is excellent with beef! I don't know what ohia is comparable to? It's an incredibly hard wood and puts out tons of smoke!

 

[gary s]

Here in East Texas,  Hickory, Pecan and Oak are what mot people use because of the availability

I have heard that guava leaves goes fine with pork too.

I have heard that guava leaves goes fine with pork too.

I've tried guava with everything! It's good with pork, fish, turkey, chicken, etc... My favorite pairing is salmon! What it doesn't go with is beef! Guava smoked prime rib? Be there, shouldn't have done that!!!!!

My wife wants the guava on my property to be gone! I can only smoke so much every week...
