Peach wood for Rack of Pork?

minniemoh

I just picked up some peach chunks yesterday. I haven't been able to find them before. My boss and some work colleagues are coming over for dinner tomorrow night (we do it the same weekend every year as we have a trade show). I bought a Costco rack of pork for this occasion back in December and I'm wondering if I should experiment with it on this cook or if I should go with Hickory like I have done several times with this piece of meat. I LOVE this cut with hickory but I've heard that peach is supposed to be fantastic on pork.

Does peach give a nice color? I expect the flavor will be good. Has anyone done this with peach? I searched a few threads but didn't see much about peach.

Peach smells great when it burns. I like the flavor, but I also mix with nut woods like hickory or pecan. It's mild and sweet.

Yes peach on everything except red meat.

Thought I had a picture on one, guess I didn't. I use peach all the time with pork. I have done a couple of racks of pork using a coffee rub. Everyone must like it or are just really hungry the way it gets eaten up.

These were done with peach a week or two ago

I've used peach wood a lot with chicken lately, but it should be great with pork too and paired with pecan or hickory would be good too. It does smell good and I like using mostly fruit woods when smoking.  If your looking for color, cherry helps make a nice smoke ring on beef and pork, but give the peach a try.
