Do you ever mix your woods

[Greg Kemp]

I like to use red oak with a chunk-o-guava for fruit wood. I also like the Jack Daniels pellets.

Have had good experiences with pecan wood too.

Greg, I need to check into some guava wood from you this season. Rick Salmon swears by it for chicken.

I use oak and pecan mixture most of the time. Sometimes Oak and a little mesquite.

Oak and pecan is my standard for brisket. Chicken usually gets cherry and pork gets a combo of whatever hits me at the time! Lately I've been using straight fruit woods for ribs, however. Guava really adds a nice flavor to ribs.

Could you mix some Guava in with a bit of hickory for all four KCBS categories?

 

[Chick'n Pig BBQ]

I use hickory with cherry and apple on everything. I only change the quantities and mix of wood depending on what I am smoking.

What the hell is Guava ?

Mixed tropical wood

For a single wood, pecan is my favorite, followed by cherry and apple. I too like to mix fruit woods.

I start my salmon with alder/apple and finish it with cherry for the red color.

But for dry ribs I go cherry all the way.

I'm on my second box of guava and really like it.

Hey, try mixing a little dry citrus with your guava. Make sure it is good and dry, I tried some that was wet and it turned my pork the color of my black behind.

As you can see, we like to mix it up. I'm with Thirdeye, Pecan rocks but very hard to come by up here in Michigan. I mostly cook with cherry, maple and apple.

I would love to try pear.. I use kingsford for heat and I mix hickory and apple 50% for flavor. On chicken I use apple only.
