just mixed up 5lb of meat for old fashion salami (hi-country mix)  was wondering if there is a better wood to use  then another when doing sausage/salami
 
I use hickory for just about everything, but I'm sure our resident sausage guru's will have a better answer.
 
I would be willing to bet that if 10 SMFers were sitting at a table of of food smoked by 10 others..that not many could not say what was used to smoke those items.

I use local pecan and oak..it's free.

Use what ya have ... don't sweat the small stuff.

I personally like cherry or apple for most ofmy smokes.

pecan is great on sausage and if you can score some sassafras even better.
 
Nepas is 100% correct,but lately i've started using straight birch wood no bark and it seems to add a real interesting taste that people seem to love.Living in alberta Canada we have an abundance of birch here.
