Peach wood - when do you use it?

My wife got me two bags of peach. I never used it before. I use hickory or apple for pork, cherry and oak on brisket, pecan or alder on chicken, mostly pecan and a small chunk of cherry on turkey... However, I never had peach available so I thought I would ask those who have used it, what they used it on.
Also, what would you NOT use it on?
I was going to use it on my chicken breasts and thighs which have been marinating in garlic, cilantro, lime juice and a dash of cayenne; however, I think I am going to stay with pecan tonight, and wait to hear what people reccommend.

Use it where you would use apple. I sometimes mix a little peach with hickory and white oak.

I just used peach for the first time on two butts and a rack of ribs. Excellent light smoky flavor.Raleigh NC, Large BGE and KJ Joe Jr.

I just recently got some peach and have been experimenting. Wonderful smoke aroma. I have used peach with hickory instead of apple with hickory for ribs. I asked family members whether they noticed a difference. They agreed the taste was different and almost everyone agreed that the change was positive. I usually don't use wood with chicken, but a little bit of peach adds a nice light smoke. Peach also goes well as a substitute for apple on a pork roast.

Peach, like most of the other fruit woods is a solid all around wood. It can be used across the board with pretty dog gone good results. This is especially true on a offset stick burner where you are burning the wood instead of smoldering it. Under these conditions Peach really shines. I do not have unlimited access to it anymore. But when I did, I used it right up there with oak and pecan. Do not be scared of Peach wood my friend, it is par excellent.

You can use it on anything with little risk the smoke will taint your food. (Huh...huh huh... I said "taint").
Mesquite and hickory can be disagreably smokey on some things. Actually regular lump smoke can be with no wood added. Good smoke is the rule.______________________________________________I love lamp.. -
I used it with a leg of lamb. As the others stated previously...outstanding!

I use it on everything. Peach is great. A lot of the comp guys use apricot as well.
Like apple, I just like that it's a light smoke and you're not going to overdo it like you could accidently do with hickory, pecan, etc.
