Finally got the smoker I wanted now. My wife has never had smoked anything and I want her to have a good experience. Anyone have a suggestion on what kind of wood I should use for first time smoke eater? I will be cooking ribs...
i did some ribs for the first time 2 weeks ago and just used what i had laying around (hickory) and it was awesome with the pork ribs
if your not 100% sure that your lady will like the full smoke flavor i would suggest only using the wood for an hour or two and just let charcoal do the rest of the work
this is what i had to do because mine really does not like that hardcore flavor....maybe i need to experiment with some lighter woods but i kinda believe its just the smoke taste to begin with that she has issues about
Personally i love hickory on most stuff...but it is a heavy flavor. I started using Cherry in place when i have guests im cooking for and not sure of their tastes. It is quickly becoming my favorite all around wood. Its much lighter but still with a distinct smoke taste. Plus it grows everywhere here.
