It looks like most prefer Pecan or Apple. I'll visit our Ace for a bag. I brought back from PA. some apple and hickory but it was about six years ago so I think it would be too dry. I was going to try the hickory because of the ads, "Genuine Hickory Smoked Ham", but thought it also would be too dry. This project is going to be a loin brined for two weeks so I don't want to mess it up. I've been just boiling them but want to try smoke because it tastes like ham.
Mesquite is strong but makes the best jerky. For chicken/turkey I just smoke less. If anyone uses Mesquite from the desert be sure to trim the "yellow" wood from the outside or it will smell like burning wet newspaper. I don't know why.
Thanks for all your suggestions..
