What to use

[az porky]

I will be smoking two 14# apple brined turkeys in my MES 40”.I checked and I only have hickory and cherry pellets,but have apple and pecan chips. Which should I use?

Thanks

The cherry pellets would be a good match. I would avoid the hickory personally. As for the chips, either one would work, but I would lean more toward the pecan. Your plan sounds similar to my T-day smoke except I am going to use a 50/50 mix of pecan and maple.

Just my 2 cents...

I love hickory and cherry together.
Apple or cherry alone are great for poultry.

I use hickory when i have it, when I don't I go get hickory. your in control, I feel as long as your giving a kiss of smoke your good

Cherry will add a good flavor and color. It can be hard to keep lit.
