Smoke wood chips

Apple wood has a mild, sweet, and fruity flavor. It is particularly suitable for smoking poultry, game birds, and pork. It’s also excellent for delicate foods like cheese and vegetables. Dishes like smoked chicken breast or apple wood smoked cheese are quite popular

Pecan wood offers a rich, sweet, and nutty flavor. It pairs well with poultry, beef, pork, and cheese. It’s less intense than hickory, so it’s a good choice for those who want a subtler smoky flavor. Try pecan smoked ribs or pecan smoked turkey for a nice twist

Cherry wood gives a sweet, fruity smoke that’s great for poultry and ham. It can also be mixed with other woods like oak or hickory to balance out the flavor for smoking beef or game. Cherry smoked duck or cherry smoked salmon are delicious

Oak is the most versatile of the hardwoods, pairing well with just about any meat. It has a medium to strong flavor that stands up well to beef and lamb, but it’s also mild enough for poultry and fish. Classic dishes might include oak smoked brisket or oak smoked salmon
