pork ribs

[celentano]

hey! what kind of firewood should I take to smoke the pork ribs?

 

[JLinza]

Hickory or post oak are fits for just about everything. But I am quite partial to Pecan wood for ribs

I like cherry in the mix, helps give good color.

I like a mix of hickory and apple. I use cherry when I can find it.

I smoke almost 100% with cherry and apple. I do want to add some hickory this year.

I like cherry, too, for the color it gives pork. Hickory is always excellent with pork...

Are you burning splits or chunks? Chunks can be had at lowes, walmart and Home depot. Splits might be tougher and need to be mail ordered unless you can find them local.

Hello! In general, I chose cherry wood and smoked the ribs)) well, it seemed to work out.
Of course I have a lot to learn, but I really like it

Has anyone heard of almond charcoal? I started reading about coals in general, what types there are, what kind of firewood famous bbq restaurants use, and almond firewood was mentioned very often. does anyone have experience? and did anyone buy coals on this site? Walmart doesn't have a very large selection

Good looking ribs! Can't say I've seen almond charcoal, but I did have some Almond pellets from Knotty Wood. I really don't recall them being all that flavorful. In fact I may have tossed them.

Great looking ribs!

Has anyone tried pear?

 

[texomakid]

I like pecan, cherry, hickory, apple. This last weekend I did Pecan/cherry mix. Love the aroma and flavor of them all.

 

[HalfSmoked]

Yes I have used pear.
