What's everyone's go to wood for ribs? I'm usually all in on hickory and/or apple wood, but I'm trying pecan on the w today for the first time.

I will use a mix of either Pecan and Cherry or Almond and Apple

I'll pick up some cherry chunks and try mixing that with pecan next time. Thx.

Normally hickory straight up. Sometimes finish with cherry though and have mixed hickory and pecan.

Occasionally apple but not often.

Mostly Hickory and Pecan.

Sometimes I will use some apple  - if I need a mellower/sweeter smoke.

Pecan is fairly mild so I combine that with the Hickory so as not to overpower the meat.

Currently I use Oak for everything because thats what I have. I got some pecan seasoning for next year and I’ve also used mesquite and hickory. Personally, I believe in using what you have access to. You can mix different woods just like different ingredients but really, it’s just different flavors of good.
