Types of wood for smoking

What BOB said. I have lime wood, orange and grapefruit and can't tell 'em
apart. BOB's right, they're mild smoke and very pleasant. I prefer bay (or
alder) for fish and I like oak the best for most everything else, though if
I can ever get my hands on some pecan...I did a cook with pecan shells once
and they smelled divine.
