Boston Butt Question....

Unknown

Should I use particular wood for the smoke (..how much wood if so) or should I use no wood at all???

Lumberjack,
Well, I think the traditional approach would be to use hickory. I think you definitely want to use smoking wood unless you just don't like the flavor of smoked meat. You might also mix apple and hickory.[p]TNW

Lumberjack,
Though I find it harder to find, oak is good too, especially red oak.[p]
