I've read that it is similar to apricot, which I have used in the past. I tried the apricot on pork loin and it was sweet and fruity beyond my tolerance. If you like pork with sweet chutney or lamb with mint jelly it might be to your liking.
Peach is great for poultry and pork. This wood is similar to hickory but is sweeter and milder in flavor.
Hope this helps.

There are a couple teams in GA that use it,mostly for advertising,and it won't hurt anything.If you are looking for much smoke flavor,you may need to use much more than with nut woods.
Thanks for the info I will try the peach smoke flavor next time I smoke.
This chart has some helpful information.
Myron Mixon mentioned his use of peach wood several times during Pitmasters Season One. He sells it as well.
I've tried Candy Sue's peach pellets. They offer a nice aroma but lay down a very subtle flavor on meat. I used them with Ribs and PB's.

I use peach sometimes. It has a tang to it. Very nice for ribs. Be careful if buying on the internet. Some folks sell punky branches that were pruned from an orchard...not good eats.
