I have used Orange and Grapefruit before and these are both ones that do give a citrus flavor to what is cooked, slightly. I burn what I can get. White Oak and the Austrailian Pine.

I almost forgot a wood I got after the hurricanes last year. A couple logs of Buttonwood. It gave a peppery flavor to the food. It was good stuff.

Well I asked about Apricot wood before. Not many responses but anyone ever use it?

 

[bigwheel]

Well swear I have heard the term Buttonwood...but dont recall anything about it. Now apricot is some great wood. Very fruity n aromatic. Highest purpose is to be used as a flavoring wood with an Ozark Oak base for chicken on the R2D2. Now I had a chunk one time which come from Shingleman and it smelled so much like Chanel #5 when it got to burning I drug it outta there. I did not want no dead chicken to smell like perfume. Now this was a big cut chunk from a large limb and it was real dense as in maybe part green. Usually I want a touch I just break off a few dead limbs from the apricot tree. Little tamer tasting in that configuration. Plum is also excellent.
