Hi,

Preference in smoking fuel is akin to preference in apples.

People smoke meats/fish with things ranging from corn cobs, to peat, to  
sheep chips, to wood, to mangrove roots.

Each will claim their fuel is best.  It all depends on regional and  
personal subjective tastes.

I just did some summer pruning on apples, and the larger suckers will be  
used green to smoke some summer sausage.

Some sear by green wood, some swear by dried.  The only thing that matters  
is your preference.  Smoking meats and the fuel you like best, is an area  
to explore, just like fruit.

Later,
Tom
