I have a persimmon tree in my yard that is on it's last leg. I was wondering if persimmon wood would be suitable for use on a reverse flow Lang. I have never used it before and was wondering if anyone could advise me about it?
Persimmon is perfectly fine for smoking. As a general rule any fruit bearing tree is ok for smoking. It has a light and fruity taste to it. It's also a bit sweet. Just make sure you age it 6 months or more before you toss it in the firebox. I'd age 8-10 months before I used it to smoke with.
