Sugar Maple would have been my 1st choice followed by cherry and apple. I probably use hickory more only because it's so readily available (HD) .. Easily would have been the 4th choice.

Hickory followed by citrus of one kind or another or mixed, sassafras and grapevine, in no particular order. To me, hickory is the quintessential smokewood. So easy to moderate by simply using less.

Every once in a while I use blueberry wood, it is very good. but mostly apple, pecan and hickory.

Missouri White Oak and French Oak Wine barrels that contained Cabernet Sauvignon!








The other Oak!

The guy I got these from almost cried when I told him what I was going to do with them!

Same as Dave G. but I like to substitute pecan for hickory when I can get it--just slightly milder.

Brian, I also use wine barrel staves mostly for chicken, fish and a little pork.
