I've had very good results using beaver-chipped peach wood...

That's what I usuall buy and they do OK but that stuff always seems real dry I guess from being kiln dried.I've thought about trying to get ahold of some fresher local stuff or just buying from one of those online vendors.

I only get the mesquite and the cherry, i can get hickory and pecan from a couple tree guys i know. I get apple from a guy in Maryland that has an orchard, my fil brings its back for me.

Yeah, I should be able to get pecan locally pretty easy. Cherry and pecan are my favorite and I usually do both on butts.
