What are the three most popular wood flavors for smoking meats?

While many different woods can be used successfully, they each have a distinct flavor profile that is better suited to a particular type of meat. Hickory, considered the king of woods, gives a bacon-y flavor and is great with pork. Oak is just as popular with those cooking beef or red meats. Apple is a favorite for pork as well as with poultry, lending a bit of fruity appeal.
