Flavor and burn by wood

Oak

Medium · balanced · versatile

Oak delivers a medium, balanced, and versatile smoky flavor. It is seldom overpowering and often described as having an earthy or slightly nutty undertone. It is considered a clean-burning base wood that enhances the natural flavors of most foods without dominating them.

Best withBeef, lamb, and most other meats.

Long, steady, high heat

Cherry

Mild · sweet · fruity

Cherry wood provides a mild, sweet, and fruity flavor profile. Its delicate nature is forgiving for beginners and adds a subtle sweetness and a desirable rosy or mahogany color to the meat's exterior. It does not taste like actual cherries, but rather a subtle, warm sweetness.

Best withPoultry, pork (especially ribs and ham), fish, and vegetables.

Bright flame, sweet aroma

Hickory

Strong · bold · savory

Hickory imparts a strong, bold, and savory flavor that is the most traditional "barbecue" taste. It has a distinct and pungent, almost "bacon-like" flavor with a hint of sweetness. Use it in moderation, as too much can result in a bitter taste.

Best withPork (ribs, shoulder, bacon), beef (brisket), and robust game meats.
