My buddy showed me a trick with peach wood on chicken

I was at a BBQ cook-off last weekend and talked to a pitmaster who swears by peach wood for smoking chicken. He said it gives a sweet, mild smoke that doesn't overpower the meat. I tried it at home, and my chicken came out super juicy with a hint of fruitiness. Have you all tried other woods for poultry?

Tried applewood last week and got a similar mild sweetness.

Oh cool! Was that from smoking or grilling with it?

Actually tried smoking but left the grill open like an idiot. More like mildly warm apple-scented air. Still got a hint of flavor though, probably from all the smoke that escaped first. Guess I should read the manual next time.

Hah, my first time I forgot to soak the wood chips at all.
