I usually do a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio of fruit to hickory (depends how big are the chunks). So I'd do Apple or Cherry (3-4 chunks) for every 1 chunk of hickory. On my egg, I usually find 5-6 chunks are good for a big brisket. Some people may say for beef to maybe do even fruit/hickory or just all hickory, its really all personal preference.
