Peach Wood?

Former Member

Just got my new 008 today and I am in the process of seasoning it. Put in two chunks of wood that came with the smoker, set the temp at 225 and will let it burn for about 5 hours. My plan is to turn it off without opening the door and letting it cool down slowly. I will do some smoking tomorrow and my question is this, "Is peach wood a good wood for smoking?" I have some peach limbs that I have saved and would like to cut them into chunks and smoke with them. I would appreciate any advice anyone has on the subject. I am looking forward to many many years of enjoyable cooking!!

Peach wood is excellent to smoke with. I used to use it in my WSMs and would love to use it in my FEC but have not found anyone who makes peach pellets.

Let us know how it turns out.

Most any fruit wood makes for good Q. I have been told that peach is one of the best. Kind of scarce in most places though.

Go figure!! I bought and planted a Bruce Plum bush. I later found out that the stock that they grafted to plum onto was peach stock. The first couple of years I would get a few plums and a lot of knobby peaches pits. Then the plums quit all together so I cut it down and will be using it to smoke with. With my 008 then my loss turns into my gain!!

I am pretty sure you can find peach pellets
and just about any other kind of wood anyone might want at thisBarbecue wood site.

They have logs, chunks, chips, planks, pellets and sawdust. This should just about cover everything most of us could wish for.

Hope this helps!

I just checked their site out and found peach chips, chunks, logs, sawdust, etc. but no peach pellets. Maybe I am missing something but I don't see them there.

But thanks for the try though! Lots of other interesting things there.

Peach wood is amazing. I did a peach pie one time using peaches I smoked briefly over some peach wood I got at the same farm and it was really good.

Definitely the king of fruit woods if you ask me!
