I prefer Hickory and a hardwood called BlackJack. Really any hardwood can be used with varying degrees of taste!
Don't use Pine or pressure treated lumber!
No plywood either :grin:

You ever use hickory nuts? they do good. I like apple wood for birds and pork.
Pecan is of the hickory family. I use hickory. I start with dry hickory, and progress to green a little later. I smoke hams and bacon for 72 hours. I've had lots of compliments on my smokin' abilities. A few years back at Thanksgiving, my sister baked a ham, and I brought a smoked one. Mine was gone at the end of the day, and hers was almost complete. I've tried most every kind of wood, but nothing beats hickory for smokin'. Pahaska
I have found you can use just about any kind of hardwood or fruitwood and get a good flavor. I've used cedar, hickory, oak, apple, cherry, pear, mesquite and a few others. I like the apple best for all around smoking, cedar for salmon.
Back in my bachalor days I arrived with chicken at a buddies house ,him not home ,I took a bunch of cherry limbs he had cut down and fired the bbq.no salt or pepper and the best chicken I ever ate..Is the grape vine you speak of the same big vines we find growing in the woods of Michigan?or do you have to rob the nieghbors arbor/....Mark

i've mostly used apple, cherry, or hickory, though with hickory,ive found its easy to use too much so the flavor is overpowering

Works fine . . . apple wood is apple wood, the smoker doesn't know the difference between "delicious" and "crab".
