For Great Barbecue Ribs And Other Grilled Meats
Wood Adds Excellent Taste

Use Wood For The Most Delicious Pork Barbecue Flavor!

Once you have decided on a pork barbecue, whether for competition barbecue or a backyard meal, including wood as all or part of your fuel source can help enhance the flavor of your meat.

When it comes to selecting the right wood for your barbecue ribs, there are a number of different types to select from. These include:

  • Hickory
  • Oak
  • Pecan
  • Apple
  • Cherry
  • Peach
  • Maple
  • Grapevine
  • Mesquite

Each of these woods has its own unique “flavor” to add to your pork barbecue. Hickory provides a very smoky flavor to barbecue ribs and other meats. In fact, many people feel hickory produces an almost bacon-like flavor. Oak, on the other hand, provides a very mellow flavor.

Pecan also provides a smoky flavor to pork barbecue, though it is a bit sweeter and milder. Apple is also sweet and is great to use with barbecue ribs. Cherry is much like apple, though the flavor is a bit deeper.

Peach wood is more difficult to find than some other woods, but the flavor it adds to your pork barbecue is both delicate and sweet. Maple, on the other hand is both sweet and mellow. For a light flavor, grapevine wood is a good choice.

For a strong smoke flavor on your pork barbecue, mesquite is a good choice. Be careful with mesquite, however, as too much can actually make the meat inedible.
