It's pretty important. You can begin with a blend like Costco sells.
It will be good with just about anything, then start playing with different specific woods.

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 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
