Yes! Lol. My favorite combo is pecan /cherry or hickory/cherry......or just plan pecan or hickory.am i just weird?
i did a turkey with cherry chunks added to a charcoal bed - and they said it turned out great... but then, i don't like turkey much. also did 2 briskets at the same time, and those turned out good tooDepends on what I'm smoking. For bacon and most sausages I use either cherry/pecan, or cherry/hickory. If I want something bold with poultry or beef, mesquite. Any fruitwood also pairs well with poultry or fish.
Not weird, just differing taste.so... what wood does everyone use to smoke with - pellets, sticks, chunks, whatever... i've done some extensive reading online and everyone seems to like hickory, but i can't stand the smell of it when its burning or the taste it imparts to the meat. am i just weird?
i use Hickory mostly, followed by apple, then 50/50 hickory mix.so... what wood does everyone use to smoke with - pellets, sticks, chunks, whatever... i've done some extensive reading online and everyone seems to like hickory, but i can't stand the smell of it when its burning or the taste it imparts to the meat. am i just weird?
Maybe not weird, but in the minority...everyone seems to like hickory, but i can't stand the smell of it when its burning or the taste it imparts to the meat. am i just weird?
Woops - wrong post.I burn wood in a fireplace insert to supplement and save on the winter energy bills. I purchase cut and split wood by the cord or more. I getting too old for cutting and splitting. I will pick out some logs and reserve them for cooking. I'll also get opportunities to help a neighbor out cutting and clearing. My cooking wood pile is mostly cherry. My neighbor had a tree cut down and he gave me all the large logs. I have an apple tree to take down for another friend. I'll just give them a rack of ribs or brisket when the time comes.
I cook with cherry, apple, pear, maple, hickory, oak and ash.
