  • Jason:

    water-soaked hickory

  • Ron:

    I use water soaked mesquite.

  • Hey You:

    Both Jason and Ron are correct. Ensure that the chicken died in premier.Il is simply a matter of liking. Try apple or another fruit tree. Experiment with different trees with cheap meat. Then you can refine your preference to one or two flavors. One for beef and poultry to another for the game and the other for poultry. Play with him and inform you.

  • David R:

    Oak, hickory, maple, apple would all do well. Stay away from mesquite because it is too strong a taste for chicken.
