Use the pits?

Former Member

I was just wondering if anyone has used stone fruit pits for a smoke source. Cherry, peach, apricot, nectarine, seem like good sources of unique flavors, especially considering the small amount of wood Cookshacks really use?

Does anyone know of any bad chemicals that would be in the pits that would not be in the wood from the trees themselves?

Apricot pits have a chemical that resembles cyanide. It's called laetrile. It has been touted as a cancer cure: But it's bogus. I don't know if it's destroyed by heat or would be given off in the smoke. So you might not want to use them.

As far as the others are concerned, I have no clue.

I am pretty sure cherry pits are also poisonous.
