Wood for pulled pork

[Steven A]

Has anyone used apple or cherry wood when making pulled pork? I have a few nice logs of each, and was wondering which (if any) would be better.

I just love apple and pork. Havent used cherry that mutch. Almost smoke all pork with apple!

Both will work well. They're milder than say hickory or mesquite so adjust the amount you use to your preference.

BOTH!
I use apple all the time.
Cherry is great too!
Butt i've also used both in the same cook, it's a terrific blend.
Try it!

I have used apple quite a few times and have enjoyed it. I often mix it with pecan, but have used it exclusively also.

I like both but usually mix apple and red oak/hickory for pulled pork. Last loin I did I made an apple stuffing and smoked with cherry. It came out great.

Decisions, decisions! I'm trying out my CyberQ tonight on my pulled pork. Maybe I will try a blend.

Also going to try a Bavarian Fatty (hope its good). I'll post pictures.

Like most guys who have posted - I love apple with pork. With butts i use a mix of apple and hickory. probably 2/3 aplle to 1/3 hickory. With ribs I usually go a little heavier on the apple but still put a piece of hickory in there to.

I have used cherry before. It is good too but I just prefer apple.

I like to combine them both also. They also go good with fish and chicken.
I'm an experimenter - I not only play with my recipes but also the wood combo's that I use.

Apple and hickory together are a match made in heaven! Apple wood is great with pork by itself..

I've been doing my pork with a mix of apple and cherry, pretty good results so far. Want to try pecan next.

 

[George Curtis]

some how apple doesn't agree with my. so i have been using pecan. but i have been gravitating to oak.

 

[Steven A]

I have no pecan, but I'm waiting on some Black Walnut. I've read mixed reviews on BW, so I'll have to try it for myself and see how it is.

I've tried both with pork butts, too mild for my tastes when used alone. I'd combine either with plenty of hickory.
