personal choice mostly
there is no physical importance of using one 'flavor' on any certain meat that I know of

or are you asking which pellets work better for certain foods? I don't think that has a definitive answer either.

For brisket I like to use Mesquite and for pork I like to use Hickory.

Then again, I'll use whatever I have when needed.

I'm no wood sommelier, can't tell the subtle notes in wine nor wood flavors.

I tend to follow the recipe suggestions or on the pellet bags,

"heartier", bolder flavors like Hickory, Mesquite, Oak for beef and chicken.

Lighter flavors, Fruit woods for veggies and seafood.

I could probably get by with Hickory, Mesquite for everything frankly, I like traditional smoke flavors.

I use apple on everything. I started using apple in my offset, everyone loved the flavor. So when i got the Traeger i just kept using it. Although i am gonna experiment with different pellets and see if we like any others.
