Cherry Wood

I find Cherry to have a mild sweet smoke flavor to it. I usually would use cherry for pork and sometimes chicken. Give it a try!

I have used it with a mixture of hickory on chicken and also baby back ribs. Both came out excellent with a teriffic taste.

I also think it's a mild sweet smoke; Try using it with a mixture of Pecan too! My Favorite!

Can't wait to try it. Thanks for the tips.

I sampled some cherry and that convinced me to go down to Cookshack and pick up a 20# box of it. Now I use it all the time. People keep asking me what I use to smoke with as it is a great taste. It it not strong like mesquite and hickory.

Cherry is my favorite wood. I use two small pieces (one chunk cut in half) of cherry and one real small piece of hickory for my butts and ribs. I just want a hint of hickory so go easy on the hickory. You cannot go wrong with it. Apple is my second favorite and that goes great with ribs and brisket.

I used cherry wood on St Louis Ribs last week. The best ribs I ever tasted.

I agree with everyone, the cherry is a mild sweet smoke. I use it on about everything and sometimes with a piece of hickory or apple.
