What is the best wood for a meat smoker?
Can someone give me a link to the different kinds of trees we have in Indiana? I've been trying to learn how to tell the different trees apart, but today I cut and prepared what I thought was hickory for a meat smoker. Turned out it was White Oak.

  Oak is good for smoking, I have used it many times.
  Mesquite is my favorite.
  
  I got a pickup truck load of apple a few years back, it didn't do much for me in the smoker. Burned pretty well in the wood stove, though.
  Damn stuff is hard to split, I won't be using any more apple.
