Food and Drink Smoking Wood - Page 2

Dinny Bossa Nova · 11-09-2010, 07:39 PM

Recently found some cherry wood at the price cutter and smoked a turkey breast with it. Still not sure if I like it better than apple.

Mesquite is my "go to" for pork, and I like it on beef.

Apple has grown on me for everything but pork.

Does cherry work well by itself on anything, in your opinion, or should I mix it with something else for the best flavor?

Hickory seems pretty harsh to me, and I don't use it on anything but pork.

Mind is open, have much to learn.

Love to use apricot on pork/chix. A real crowd pleaser.
Mesquite tastes weird on anything but beef to me.
Pecan/hickory mix is great with babybacks (depending on the rub, I 'spose).
I like a little cherry/hickory with burgers as well.

I do bet you make a dope BBQ Fish taco though Gadzooks. Mmmm Mmmm...KC Masterpiece and some chunk albacore on a flour shell. HEAVEN.

I pride myself on my BBQ steak, others have raved over my ribs, although, I've never gotten a chance to taste them myself. (My ribs take a long time to cook so I'm usually passed out from binge drinking by the time they're done).
