Peach Wood

[Barrion2018]

Wood for smoking is hard to find where I live. When find it, it cost between $24 to $40 for only 1.5 cubic feet.

I found a guy the sells it a little cheaper, but it's still expensive.

So when I saw an ad on Craigs List selling seasoned peach wood for $200 a cord (=~$1.56 per cubic foot), I decided to buy a cord.

I here peach wood is a good wood for smoking (never used it before), just don't know what meat I'm limited to using it on?

I live in the central San Juaquin valley CA, and peach wood is plentiful here (as well as a ton of other types of fruit and nut wood) and relatively cheap. I have used peach many times, and it is good.
From my experience, It gives a lighter smoke tase . I use it on my chicken and pork.
I use oak on a lot with beef, since it has a little stronger flavor, and I do like it on pork too. .
Honestly I can only taste a minor difference, but some with a more sensitive pallet than mine can really taste a big difference between woods,
It all Tastes good to me as long as is not a smoldering sooty smoke from poor fire management

Thank you tinspark for that info. I'm new to smoking, and I need all the help I can get.

Thanks again

Buying in bulk is really the way to go, in my opinion. Make sure you stack it properly to allow air circulation.

I've not used peach before but would expect it to have characteristics of the rest of the fruit woods. Definitely a good find.
