peach tree wood any good for burning in the stove

i had a small question here i got a fair bit of small pieces of peach tree wood from my property here ive always been told by some of my neighbors that they are ole timey peaches there the smaller white type and was wondering if the wood is any yood for burning

 

is this a trick question ?

You mean like if you even think of building a fire with it your wife will leave you, your kids will disown you and your dog will pee in your shoes ?
That's pine.
You're good.

 

no not really a trick question i was just wondering because ive never really burned any peach tree wood an was wondering how it burned for any 1 else

 

I haven't burned peach wood but in general fruit woods burn well

Looks like it commands a hefty price on the BBQ market

 

nice i had a few thoughts on trying to use some of it for cookin

 

Makes note to self, any peach wood is gold for BBQ

 

Someone told me years ago, any tree that produces fruit or nuts is good for smoking.

Disclaimer.... I suppose there are the exceptions to this rule also.

 

My first thought was to save it for the smoker... I love apricot for smoking

 

I had saved some pieces of my dad’s peach tree he had growing for probably 20 years until he dug it up and threw it out. I salvaged it and it wasn’t much more than the size of a branch about two fingers across in width, barely 3 feet high. Neighbor of my parents have a much bigger one in diameter but I guess my dad’s just never really grew well in the spot. It produced some large fruits recent summers but I guess he got tired of it suffering.

This one was used in my bbq towards the end of the Summer, I cut the best parts of the trunk up into smaller pieces for the grill for what it’s worth. I couldn’t let it go to waste. I use apple, plum and cherry on a regular basis for the bbq. So peach is more so the treat. I wouldn’t burn it in a regular burner for heat unless the supply was considered ample. Now you got me thinking how to process it all so some wood indeed gets sliced more manageably. The plum I have is so twisty that it gets less safe to cut with a chop saw in chunks the shorter it gets.

 

Welcome to the club, patrick kozlowski !
Glad you found us!

 

I can't imagine anything smoked over walnut. that stuff stinks!

 

Pecan is a prize though.

I have burned peach wood no problems. It burns good and throws heat so yeah burn it burn it all, or save it for smoking.
