Has anyone ever used persimmon wood for smoking? I know most fruit woods are good for smoking but I don't ever remember ever burning any persimmon so don't know what it smells like. TNmike

    Mike I do not know about smoking for cooking. Tried to burn in my fireplace smell was awful. Will never forget that smell. JD

    Persimmon is the base in all my cooks. I see where you are from and am sure you can get them wild as can I at our farm in Prescott Ar. Dryed ,cut into 4 inch slices by one inch thick , then split into 4 wedges. I use them for all my cooks. Beef I will add hickory with it as it as persimmon is a milder wood than hickory. I have oak,hickory,peach,sasafrass,apple,muskidine on my place but persimmon is my go to wood for everything.
