I just made a smoker out of a big clay pot and I'm loving it. Wondering what some of your favorite woods are for smoking cause I'm in the experimentation phase.  -C- So far I like...

Oak for pork
Cherry and HHB for trout  )F(

Oops. I just realized there's a cooking board. Admins, please feel free to move this thread.  :)

Apple, my favorite for most things. We are on separate coasts, anyhow, Vine maple, Red alder, Big leaf maple.

I don't have a smoker but I do all my grilling over osage coals.

sleek:
Peach!

Hawkdancer:
For meat - hickory, Apple, cherry, and peach.  For hides - Apple, cherry, oak, ash, hickory, peach, any nut tree, but make sure it is cool smoke.  Run it through a long more or less horizontal stack.  I prefer wood, but good charcoal works, too.  It is sometimes hard to get the fruit wood, and oak and hickory are hard to come by out here.  Enjoy!; I just recently got a big smoker, have gone through 2 20 lb bags of charcoal, cooking meat.  Don't care much for mesquite, personally, just my opinion; other folks swear by it.
