Boone, I don't have a Bradley and have always used just chips/chunks in mine so I have been able to try a lot of "native woods" we have around my place like Apple, Cherry, Pear, Hickory, Oak, Maple etc. and pretty much like em' all. I always went by the old rule of thumb..."Hardwoods or Nutwoods for game meat and Fruitwoods for pork, fish or poultry" (I tried Mesquite once and I just don't like it). My Sister in law lives in Alabama and the last time she came home for a visit, she brought me an armload of Pecan wood. She has Pecan trees on her property and had a small one come down in a storm so she had it cut up. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm definitely gonna this year! Good luck to you and enjoy your future smoking endeavors!....BPS
