• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

What are your top three?

Mine:

1. Peach
2. Cherry
3. Apple
 
My preferences differ for different meats.

For pork in general I also agree with your choices.
1. Peach
2. Cherry
3. Apple

For beef I prefer oak or pecan, for poultry I like cherry for color, but prefer citrus woods as well. For seafood and game I use the milder flavored alder.
 
1. Hickory
2. Apple
3. Pecan
4. Cherry
 
Oak because it is plentiful here in Texas. Hickory for some extra flavoring perhaps at times. Fruit wood is good on poultry for me but I often use oak and find that it works very well on poultry too.
 
Cherry, Apple and Hickory so far. Sometimes I'll throw a little pecan into the mix sparingly.
 
Pecan, hickory and cherry. I have never used peach but would like to try it out as well.
 
It matters a little more with charcoal cooking... then I'd go Apple, Oak and Maple

Stick burning meh... what ever I pull out of my bbq blend pile which is a mix of cherry, oak, hickory and maple.
 
Whatever I can get. Splits - Last round it was Oak, this round it's PeeCan. Chunks I usually get Hickory and Mesquite.
 
the usual suspects are well represented in this poll...and I like standards....but I figured I'd throw a shout out to two common woods that most people don't seem to use, beech and mulberry are common and very good smoke woods...beech is kinda like oak but a tad milder and mulberry has a maple/fruitwood thing going on, mulberry is one of the highest btu woods in North America, higher than many oak species and it coals like a dream, beech also is pretty strong in the btu department.
