Persimmon BBQ & Smoking Chunks
In Japan, persimmons (kaki) have been cultivated for over 2,000 years and hold deep cultural significance. They appear in traditional art, woodcuts, and poetry. Until the 20th century, persimmons were more widely grown in Japan than apples.
Here in California, the state produces 99% of America's commercial persimmons. Interestingly, the word "persimmon" comes from an extinct Eastern Algonquian term for dried fruit.
When harvest time arrives, the bare branches laden with bright orange fruit create a striking, almost surreal appearance—nothing quite like it.

Persimmon wood offers a unique smoking flavor—lightly sweet with warm spice notes reminiscent of nutmeg. It sits between cherry and hickory in intensity, making
it versatile across proteins. Many people seem to like it with pork and fish, less so with poultry. The smoke is mild and aromatic, similar to other fruitwoods. While not widely documented, smoking enthusiasts report consistent, pleasant results.
