Apple Wood Chips

• Apple wood chips are considered the best complement to pulled pork. When used in a barbecue it provides a fruity, yet mildly sweet flavor to the pork. You can find these wood chips at your local hardware store and sometimes even the local grocery store will have them in stock.

Hickory Wood Chips

• Hickory wood is a favorite when using a barbecue smoker. It adds a sweet and strong smoke flavor to the pulled pork. This wood can overpower the meat if too much is used; blending it with another more delicate wood like apple wood is a good option.

Cherry Wood Chips

• According to Avalon Wine in Corvallis, Oregon, cherry wood works wonderfully with pork. It provides a rich flavor while also turning the meat a darker color. They recommend blending this wood with another wood such as hickory to balance the rich flavor.
