Smoking wood used for Beef?
All the earlier talk of prime ribs and smoking has decided me. This Independence Day I'm going to try my hand at using some flavorful woods to cook a prime rib on my Weber Go AnyWhere. Any suggestio...

I use mostly hickory, followed by pecan.
I have a lot of hickory trees on my property. I collect the nuts and let keep them in a bucket. When ready to smoke I soak them in water the same as I do with the wood chips, the oil in the nuts makes a richer smoke. I have 2 big green eggs and cook for family events a lot, pork butts for 12-14 hours with hickory nuts is pretty darn good.
I also throw a few chips of hickory on the grill when grilling rib-eyes, just a touch of hickory along with the char-grilled flavor makes it just right.
