Hi guy's,

I'm am trying to get a sweeter taste from my pork ribs.

Could someone advise on an appropriate wood to get a sweeter taste?
 
I've been using hickory and apple.

Could using too much hickory affect it?

I think I have pear, plum, apple, hickory and whisky barrel chunks.

I also have some maple chips.
 
I had whiskey chunks before. Was good going in. Not so good coming out
 
Ive done a mix of maple and cherry and really like it. About 50/50 mix of chunks in my drum. Love the flavor the maple gives and really like the color the cherry gives. Ive only done this with pork ribs.
 
Does it matter if I have bark on the wood?
