Anyone ever cooked with peach? I am currently using pecan and am looking to make a change, I tried apple and wasn't crazy about it either.

xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

Apple is some good chit maynard, especially on turkey. It is a thanksgiving staple.
Neil (nthole) sent me a box of peach. I'm still curing it, but I think he has done some in the past. Neil?
My favorite: cherry. That POOPIE is the schinitz. Saturday afternoon, sitting on the patio, running all wood, and all cherry, wife says "Now that is the best smelling smoke yet"
She was right. So if you can get some cherry, try that.
And after this weekend, all wood can make a heck of a difference.
Once I had everything wrapped (after each meat cut met its own temps) it was a pile of kingsford. Only needed heat at that point, so wood would have been a waste.
I like pecan, but that is a very light taste (to me)

I only have three words on wood. Cherry, cherry, cherry.

somebody shut me the fark up.
I watched a show on the Food Network about a whole hog cookoff, the guy that kept winning year after year used peach exclusively. I've never used it, but JT and I were supposed to get some back in the early spring,
Dunno whatever happened to that plan.....JT?
I like using cherry, apple, hickory, but my favorite is sugar maple chunks used with Kingsford. To me that is the Shinitz......

my shnitz is oak and cherry or mulberry..
I used alot of peach early last year, similar to apple. not alot of heat, and on the mild side. Goes great on poultry.

I like to do a couple boneless chicken breasts at a time durning a long cook. While each batch of breasts cooks I use only one wood. I bag 'em and when I have some in several woods I taste each and compare. Chicken really gives you a good idea of the flavor of each kind of smoke.

I recently received some peach trimmings from a friend. They are sesoning right now. I'll let you know in six months or so what kind of flavor it has. Sounds like chicken might be the ticket for peach.

I've said it before. Hickory is my fave. Just get a small supply of various woods and give them a try. You will figure out what you like best.
My apple wood from last year is probably cured by now. I am going to start mixing my hickory with apple.

I have done peach a few times and found it to be mild flavoring
wood compared to hickory(my favorite). The Georgia pit bosses
swear by it. There is a big contest annually in Vienna, Ga. and if
you don't use peach there you are not in the race.

I use almost exclusively apple, but I did get a load of peach this year which is almost done seasoning. I've also heard it's terrific for poultries.
Cherry is my all time favorite but I still can't find a source for it here in St. Louis. Got a neighbor with an ornamental cherry that he says he's going to have cut back. I'm hoping to get the trimmings.
