Pecan, because that's easiest for me to find. I have never been able to tell a difference with woods on butts etc.thebearditspeaks.com. Go there. I write it.

Hickory is the way to go and I sometimes add apple.Thomas Bubba's BBQ and Harris Family Catering Pigs on the Run Competition BBQ Team Medic-Que BBQ Team, LBGE, Party Q

I'll usually try combos hickory, mesquite, pecan etc. it doesn't matter try some of whatever you have. Keep a log of what you do in case you really like something.

Cherry is all I use on butts.

Pecan is my new favorite. Mild and smooth.

Anything wrong with using a chunk of hickory, apple, and cherry for a butt? I just picked up the chunks from my local Home Depot.Sarasota, FL via Boynton Beach, FL, via Sarasota, FL, via Charleston, SC, via The Outer Banks, via God's Country (East TN on Ft. Loudon Lake)
