Persimmon Wood

[woodman3]

I know persimmon is used for smoking meats. I have not used any . Looking for opinions on what meats it does and doesn't work well on . My dad just gave me some this week .

Sonny, Mr. Hickory. But also some Alder here in my later years.
Since going to pelleted woods, it's a crap shoot as to what makes up the smoke.
If the stack smells good, it's probably the right wood.

I've never used it, but from what I read persimmon is excellent for all meats. It's supposed to be sweeter and fruitier than apple and cherry. Several BBQ supply companies sell it.

If you find any seeds with the wood let us know what this winter will be like! Lol
