is peach tree wood ok to smoke with? I would assume it would be close to apple or something. Im in nor cal and our orchards are full of walnut, plum and peach trees I can get my hands on as much wood as I want just not sure which would be best...

In the Marysville/Yuba City peach wood is plentiful. It gives pork and chicken a nice sweet flavor. Similar to apple.

For brisket I mix it 75% peach 25% pecan or hickory.

Plum is good, and you should be able to score some almond too which is awesome for everything.

I use peach wood all of the time. I use oak to get nice hot coals then throw in small pieces of peach for smoke. You are very close---let me know if you need oak---I have several connections. I am not sure what you are cooking withfor equipment.

I can't vouch for peach with beef. But it's great on pork and poultry. You can't go wrong there.

Fruit wood is great with pork and chicken. All the woods you named are good for smoking (although I've actually never used walnut). You're a blessed man to have a source like that! Get to smoking and post some pictures. Can't wait to see 'em.

It's horrible! Dont believe these guys! You're being set-up. Think of it; peaches and
BBQ!!! Give me your address. I'll drive right over with the truck and help you dispose
of it carefully. It's toxic, you know! Very dangerous. Matter of fact, if I were you,
I'd stay 20' away from it. Let the professionals (ala. me) dispose of it for you.

Being a Bretheren n all, I'll only charge you for the gasoline...

How far is Marysville CA from Atlanta GA?... Shouldn't be much.

I love Mesquite and Hickory for beef.

And then... Peach or Cherry for everything else!

Great smoking wood.

I second that... (and if he takes you up on the offer, got a friend who's fairly local to you who would be more than glad to grab that toxic stuff off your hands too!)

I use a lot of peach and it has become my favorite. I will mix it with apple for the best pulled pork, ribs or chicken that I have ever made. I have used it with beef and it's good, but I prefer oak or hickory if I am doing beef ribs or steak. Peach is also great with lamb.

Good luck with it. We LOVE it when smoking turkeys... That, and apple or cherry
wood are awesome. Doesn't take a lot. A little goes a long way. The rest can
be shared with brethren.

I'll be the voice of dissent. Got some peach wood a few years back from a local orchard where we normally get our apple wood. I was very dissappointed with it and burned it up. I prefer Apple, Cherry, Hickory. Dunno, just didn't like the flavor. To each his own.

NO NO NO!!! Do not burn it in the bandera! Have you never heard of toxic residue byproduct carryover? My Lord man, that is worse than the original smoke. You really shoud ship all of that stiuff to me here in the desert of Arizona. I can safely bury it where it will never pollute the atmosphere... Or, you could just invite me to dinner!
