It comes down to individual tastes and personal preference. With that said, i like oak and pecan for just about everything. I like apple and cherry too. However if i could only use one wood for some reason, oak would be my pick. It works wonders on most things.

On pork ribs a mixture of apple & hickory. Mesquite for beef.

It's all a matter of taste. I like Hickory. Given the options you listed I would use cherry

I mix it up to keep variety going but hickory is my favorite. I have never used any wood that I just did not like as long as the smoke is clean.

Competition Blend ( 1 medium size) and 1 small Cherry will do it every cook - with Mojobricks that is. mojobricks.com

I agree, use what you like in terms of smoke flavor. Mesquite and Hickory will give a heavier smoke flavor, but not overbearing, while fruit woods and pecan will give a lighter smoke flavor.

I don't wrap my ribs so fruit woods like peach, pear, plum, apple, and cherry are my favorites.

Apple or sometimes Hickory.

I've tried several combinations but my go to is a mix of Mesquite and Hickory.

For ribs I like apple and cherry. Also like some peach when I have it around.

I use cherry. Of course it all comes down to personal taste. My family like a mild smoke taste.

I've cooked ribs with several different woods and have found if the wood is properly cured and a clean fire is maintained throughout the cook that I would have a hard time identifying which wood I used.

You're not too far from Tulare. There are lots of Pecan and Plum ranches there, and wood suppliers.

Plum is really nice on ribs, but my favorite is apricot. I use oak for heat and the fruit sticks for flavor. Try Orange too.

Have fun!

Being near the central valley, almond wood is plentiful. I just got another half cord and like the mild smoke flavor it brings to the party. I just used it on ribs in my RF stickburner and though they turned out great. As others have said, just make sure to keep your fire clean.

Been smoking a lot with cherry lately.

I am really partial to fruit woods on pork. I'd go Cherry for the cook, and then on your next cook try the almond. This is always an experiment on what you like.

fruit woods- mild and great accenting flavor ; apple, cherry, peach are my first choice.
