I have smoked with many woods and my go to wood is alder. Alder has a sweet componet and does not get bitter on aged products such as cheese. Cherry is wonderful but in my experience it gets bitter over time so I do not use it for aged products. I like trying new woods. Burn both plum and persimmon. How does it smell? Do you like it? If so try it on stuff.
