smoking beef and pork with same wood

[blindluck]

Im newer to smoking meats, typically you would use fruit wood for pork and bird. Is there a wood that is good for beef and pork? I would like to smoke brisket and pork butt or ribs at the same time. Any advice would be great.

I'm a big fan of apple or peach with a little oak.

I like hickory for pork usually but have been using HMC blend for everything lately

[JimmyHoffa]

Cherry is good with beef.  I did orchard trimming and kept some of the bigger branches when I was done.....good flavor.

Apple for pork, cherry or hickory with some oak for beef.  Oak if I were doing pork and beef together.  Just my opinion

[The scout]

alder is good with both, I also really like apple with both

[Blacklab]

really no set rules just experiment an eat. Pecan is good with all. Hic & apple is a good combo or use separtly  I use alder for fish never tried it with other food groups no real reason just haven't. It's bbq so it's all good just find what you like better

Pecan has turned out great with my last few briskest have used it on pork aswell.

Thanks guys, Ive always heard hickory mesquit ECT will make pork too bitter so i've never tried those woods. I'll give some of these a try.

TBS is your friend (thin blue smoke) 

Creosote nasty and bitter = heavy white smoke

Cherry hickory mix 50/50 I cook every thing with it and it's great

[gilroym]

I use mesquite for both.

Like Blacklab said, Pecan is great on everything.

Oak is good as well as any fruit wood.
Personal taste.
I dont like mesquit for smoking, but its great for grilling.

I used a mixed cherry blend pellets w/ hickory soaked wood chips this past Sunday cooking a prime rib roast - 5 ribs. Seemed to turn out  pretty good.
