Just curious as to the types of smoke wood others may keep "at the ready". My reservoir-Jack Daniels soaked oak, white oak, cherry, apple, hickory and pecan. Sometimes tough to appreciate the smoke differences after several low&slow libations before the end results.
Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Hickory, Pecan, Apple, Peach and Mesquite. I really can't tell much from the peach and apple. I use mostly Hickory, Apple and Mesquite. Pecan is really great on Beef Filet wrapped with bacon. I have bought so many over the years these are the 4 I like and the 3 I use most.Located in Western North Carolina

Pecan, hickory, oak, and mesquite.Pecan is always for pork, and the rest are dependent on what I want at the time (hickory for delicate smoke, oak for heavy smoke, and mesquite for it's distinctive flavor on beef.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

I've usually keep apple, pecan, JD and cherry. I want to try grape vines, I have a source, it's just getting time to go collect them.

All sore bought; mesquite (I never use), hickory, cherry, apple, pecan, alder. Mostly hips except hickory.

Home cut - cherry, oak, pear, and grapevine. Store bought - hickory and apple. I like to use grapevine with salmon. Don't really like pear, so I reserve it for fire wood.

I keep two bags each of hickory, apple and cherry on hand. I also keep one bag of mesquite and a partial of maple. Didn't really like the maple. Apple and cherry are my tried and trues. I like to 50/50 apple and hickory on ribs. Great flavor. Never used pecan. I just use chips.

2 kinds of oak, hickory, apple, alder, cherry, sugar maple, pecan. Have had peach, plum, beech and pimento (allspice wood.) The pimento was almost like a perfume. Made the yard smell great, but I thought the aroma overpowered the taste of the food.
