Peach wood? Plum wood?

[PJH]

Has anyone used peach or plum wood smoking a pork butt? If so, are either any good?

Ha! I am smoking with peach on a butt and ribs as we speak. I have ALWAYS liked peach. It's probably my favorite.

Used both, both very good. Peach has a special smell when burning.

Last time I used peach, people raved about the pulled pork.

I would love to try Peach wood. For some reason they have trouble with our winters..........

I have used wood from a wild plum tree I cut down a couple of years ago. Back when I had an electric smoker, the chips were excellent for butts. With the Weber kettle and the Old Country over/under I haven't had the same results. Still pretty good, but not great. I'm thinking plum is best used in chip form to get that nice sweet quality.

I'm a huge fan of peach wood. I completely stopped using apple and cherry woods after discovering peach wood here at a place in Oregon. The smoke has a lovely sweet smell, and the first time I used it the pork butt turned out incredible. I have to pay a bit more for peach wood and it's not always in stock, but it's so worth it for pork and chicken. Definitely do yourself a favor and seek out peach wood for a pork smoke if you've never used it. It's excellent!

I've yet to try plum wood.

I have smoked with plum and it was very pleasing. Not to strong but just an all around good flavor. I still like cherry the best though.

BBQr's Delight makes peach pellets. It's oak with peach blended in. Good for pork and chicken. I've smoked with plum chunks in WSM, similar to apple, IMO.

They are both great wood for smoking. I'm a big fan of plum myself.

Slice and pound some pork butt into cutlets. Cook on a CI skillet on your fire. Add some sliced peaches. Yo!
