What are the Pro's & cons of Cherry,plum,peach and pear
What are the good points and any bad points for the use of any of these fruit wood in smokers or cooking with them. I have cherry wood, peach, pear and plum, From removing the trees from my parents back yard a number of years ago.
Was wondering since the original use for it is no longer needed. It has been ten years at least since it was sprayed with any type of bug treatment, and it was power washed. Is one type better than another for certain foods? Can you just mix it up for a different flavor? That type of thing. Thanks in advance

I have never used plum. Pear is just like apple, cherry is a nice, but peach is my favorite for everything. I sometimes will throw a chunk of cherry in with the peach but it probably don't do anything. Looks like you have a lot of experimenting to do. Nice score!

It's all terrible stuff. I will stop by and take it all off your hands so you do not have to bother with it.
All have a nice mild smoke flavor which would be great for fish, chicken, and lighter meats. The differences will be very shuttle. Suggest mixing with hickory for pork, but that's just my preference. Smoke on and let us know what you like best.

I had heard that it was all good, but being a gasser at this time. The son is the smoker and with the one we built for him. he will get some free wood and I get more storage room in the lean to's.
A win-win deal for us both! Thanks

I tried plum for the first time last weekend and it smelled sweet like flowers. I immediatlely put hickory in to change the smoke. I didn't want my food to taste that way.

I've always been a huge fan of cherry for pork.. not sure why. I just love it.
Lots of people always mix it with hickory or oak or whatever I've noticed, but if I can I use straight cherry for pork, it's DEEEEEELICIOUS!

Cherry will help give the meat a nice color. Better that then rest. Peach is great but harder to come by. Peach and Cherry is a good combo. Good color and flavor. When I use fruit wood I go a 3 to 2 ratio flavor wood to cherry.
