Mesquite is strong and can overpower a meat. Hickory makes the meat taste like
bacon to me. Everything else all tastes the same (to me): smoky deliciousness.

We just got a pellet smoker. How much does the type of wood affect the flavor?

Mesquite is great for ribs.

I like apple or pecan for pork.

It's pretty important. You can begin with a blend like Costco sells.

More important than you think. I like Pecan for chicken and turkey. Oak or the Texas blend for beef.

Its everything. The type of wood you want depends on the type of meat.

I’ll give a differing opinion. I think in a blind taste test nobody could tell

I really can't tell between the fruit woods, pecan, and oak.

Hickory is the only one I can tell. The Costco Traeger blend is our go to.

Is this just a pellet thing, because I can definitely tell with wood chunks

You mean how do the additives applied to the sawdust affect flavor?
