What are some common types of BBQ wood for sale?

Some of the most common types of wood used for barbecuing include oak, hickory and mesquite. There are many other options to choose from as well, such as apple, cedar, acadia and ash.

Oak imparts a very smoky flavor to the meat, and it is one of the most commonly chosen woods for barbecuing, according to Texas BBQ Rub. Many fruit tree woods, such as cherry and apple, result in a sweeter taste when combined with lighter meats. Citrus trees are known for producing a balanced smoky flavor, less heavy than oak and hickory but stronger than birch and alder.
