    Not sure, I just know he said he used peach wood, don't know if he used anything other, it all looked the same. But I don't know what he started with either.

    Hickory & Mesquite are my fav’s but I’ve used Alder too. One time I smoked a big slab of bacon with a big ol cherry knot. Best I’ve ever had.

    So do you guys order your smoking wood from somewhere or just use the chunks?

    Don't know of anywhere around here they would have fruit trees in stock and seasoned.

    Get mine locally from a small time furniture builder & know a couple of guys in the tree biz. The Mesquite I get from Canadian Tire when it’s on sale.

    It is funny. I grew up with us cooking on mesquite. In Texas 40 years ago mesquite was the trash wood us poor folks used because we could not afford briquets. So we walked out into the fields and scavenged mequite. I was shocked the first time I saw it for sale.
