Wondering what type of wood yall prefer for short ribs? Hickory is too strong for me and have never tried other woods besides cherry.

Thanks
 
Oak would be my choice, not nearly as strong as Hickory, burns well too.
 
I'm gonna try some pecan chunks and see how that goes.

Thanks
 
I use oak primarily for beef but also throw in a few hickory sticks. To me, beef can handle such combination of smoke flavor.
 
I like milder woods as it is a longer cook time with beef ribs. I avoid mesquite and like Oak, Pecan, Hickory and most of the fruitwoods. Cherry can get the meat pretty dark (especially pork ribs) so mix with something else.
 
I use what is available... In my case I use a mix approx 60/40 pecan/mesquite... I love shorties.
