I only have experience with pearwood root. It is very light and stands up to the temperatures and moisture of smoking very well.

I have a book somewhere (Ill try and did it out so I can give you a reference) that says pear-wood tongs were used/still are used in Glass Foundaries specialising in finer products. The pear-wood has a very high combustion level, and is a very poor conducter of heat. Presumably is it is a hard wood (not catagorically, but rather physically) and dense, so I imagine you would need to let it rest for longer as it is less obsorbent?

Olive and Pearwood are both great , I have pipes made of both .

Have smoked Olive and Pear myself, both seemed to be fine. Mr. Brogs are WONDERFUL. Don’t have any experience with the other woods listed.
