is arizona ash the same as ash? can it be used for smoking some meat? a guy at work has alot of it at home (he has an arizona ash tree). tia.
 
All the info I could find on it points to no good. It's said to be extremely susceptable to insects and worms, and is a fast growing tree, with a short lifetime- typically meaning a sappy type softer wood. But that's just what I would think.
 
ahhh, ok. thanks guys. i will tell him not to use it. i will give him some pecan. i just scored a truck load of it free. in fact, i will pick it up on the way to work, and give him some.
 
Arizona ash is not a soft wood and it is not sappy. BUT it is still no good for smoking or cooking but it does well in a fireplace.
 
How about regular Ash wood?Its everywhere on my property.Ive heard its a really good wood for the wood burner,I just wonder about smoking with it.I dont know what variety it is here,Ill do some research on that.
 
Resurrecting!

But why not? It's not a softwood. Arizona Ash is a member of the same family as every other type of Ash tree as far as I could find.
