Mesquite or hickory are my choices for beef.
Mesquite for smoked turkey.
Apple, hickory, or mesquite for chicken.
Apple or cherry for fish.

I don't usually use wood chunks or chips, but the lump I use is mesquite. Be careful, a lot of guys think it is overpowering.

I just roasted then seared some tri-tip with a heavy dose of cherry and pecan FANTASTIC combo.

Thank you for all your thoughts on the subject of wood preference. I like mesquite for searing beef steaks, but i was testing the waters for low and slow. Thanks again to all.
