Channel: BBQ Experiments
Date: 02/03/2024

What's the best smoking wood for pork? In this six-way test, we put Oak, Maple, Cherry, Hickory, Apple and Mesquite to the test to find which wood brings out the best flavor in BBQ Pork and gives the perfect balance of smokiness and flavor.

Marcus explains the principles behind choosing the right wood to smoke meat and why you don't need to use those complicated pairing charts – you just need to understand the principles behind them. You can then pick and choose the best BBQ woods that are available to you to create delicious mouthwatering smoked pork, whether it's for ribs, pork butt or pork belly burnt ends.

About BBQ Experiments
Hey 👋  I'm Marcus and each week I run an experiment testing something BBQ-related to help you level up your BBQ knowledge. From busting BBQ myths like _"If you're looking it ain't cooking"_ to injecting copper sulfate into chicken to learn whether dry brine outperforms wet brine, this show is for the barbecue nerds.
