Recipe FAQ’s
Peaches are done smoking after 30 minutes. However, you can smoke them quicker (or for longer) if desired. While they grill quicker at a higher temperature, the peaches will absorb less smoke flavor. Where as you will find the peaches with more smoke flavor the longer they smoke at a lower temperature.
Milder and sweeter wood pellets, like apple, cherry, and pecan pellets work great for this recipe!
I’m rather partial to Traeger Pellet Grills, however, these peaches can be made on any pellet smoker or even a traditional grill. On a gas or charcoal grill, the time will have to be adjusted as the heat is higher so keep an eye on the grilled peaches to ensure they don’t burn! Flip the peaches in the last five minutes to get grill marks on the cut side.
