Apple is what I prefer to use as well.  Hickory is second choice.

Apple, Hickory, Cherry, Pecan..... never tried pecan but everybody else on here loves the heck out of it so I will be getting some. I did my last one with mostly apple and a little hickory for the last few hours and it was awesome. I actually froze most of it for superbowl weekend.

I want to try Pecan chips but I can't find any anywhere. I might have to order them online

If there's a Cabela's near you, they carry pecan chips and chunks.

I bought some pecan and cherry pellets from Todd but I haven't used them yet.

Amazon is a great place to get stuff for smoking meats!

I switch it up. Apple and hickory are my fall back to as they are always good.

Happy smoken.

If apple is your favorite then that's what you should use. I happen to really like pecan, as I feel like it falls right in the sweet spot of what I like. Apple is a little light for pulled pork, and hickory is a little too strong. I also really like cherry on things like pork loin and chicken, but I feel like it kinda gets lost on pulled pork.
