Wood chips question

My brother gave me four types of wood chips for my birthday and I'm curious what people would recommend cooking with each type of wood. One of the bags was apple, which I have already been using for pork.

The other three are Cherry, Peach and Alder.

Looking for some ideas.

Thanks

I prefer chunks instead of chips. They smoke longer.
You should try them all and see what you like best. I like apple on anything with wings and pork. With beef I like oak. You'll find that different wood types will darken the color of the meat faster than others. Hickory, pecan and cherry seem to throw a lot of dark and flavor on meat fairly quickly. Apple does it the least and slowest that I've noticed.
With that in mind I'll use hickory and pecan if I'm cooking for a short period of time.
