Smoke the Peaches

  • If using a grill, once it is near its temperature, add your wood chips, wood chunks, or light the pellets in a pellet tube smoker and close the lid.
  • Once the grill or smoker is up to 250°F and producing smoke, clean and oil the grates and place the peach halves in the grill or smoker with the skin sides DOWN.

  • If using a grill, make sure the peaches are away from the direct heat of the coals or burners. Rotate the peaches as necessary for even cooking but do not turn upside down or you will lose a lot of juices.
  • After about 60 minutes of smoking, baste the tops of the peaches with the honey and cinnamon mixture. You can repeat this a few ries over the nxt 30 minutes while they finish cooking.
