Pecan wood and allergies

[cansmoke]

Does anyone know if pecan wood is an issue for someone with tree nut allergies?

(not me, my daughter)

I dont know, but my son is allergic to peanuts and we stay away from anything peanut related.

Check with her allergist.

Best info I can give.

You can do a search on here about allergies. I searched a while back and came to the conclusion of not using nut tree when I cook for someone I know is allergic. I also cook chicken with pistachio shells on the fire, but not if any allergies coming by.

On a related topic.....can anyone tell me, with first hand knowledge, if using pecan wood for smoking would effect a nut allergy?

I would love to use some pecan for smoking, but, also would hate to croak the neighbors. (Well, most of them).

Thanks
