Has anyone ever used persimmon? I have about 8 or 9 big trees that haven't made fruit in about 25 years. I'm wanting to cut them down. I was just going to pile them up and burn them but I started thinking that it may make pretty good smoking wood.

i love persimmon, stumbled on it by accident many years ago,,, i like it and cherry then apple ,,, just can not answer about the citrus however

I had to cut down two orange trees and trim a big grapefruit tree way back at our place in Flour Bluff. Kept the wood for smoking and BBQ. Looking forward to mild, sweet flavor.

[bryan sandlin]

true

Word!

this I know is true. my first and last try at eating one was on top of treated wet 2x4's. but then again, during my younger days. tried it oh, 10 years ago with treated 6x6. same effect. thought it may save me some time. you know faster cooking time.

Citrus is very good for smoking fish but don't over smoke it. Liked orange or sour orange the best.

It is OK but not great for pork and chicken, not so much at all for beef.

What about Plumb?

Good push.

Id figure too much sap wood throughout citrus to cook or smoke at all. The real deal BBQ Gurus I know only use heart wood to bbq and burn off all sap wood in fire pit.
