That is what I reaf . anything that has four legs and no wings its good for.I have some I'm gonna try. It's the stronger brother to hickory and it's supposed to be fine for beef and mixed with other types of woods.
You don't eat the wood...lol the smoke is fine.
Some humans are highly allergic to walnut. It's up to you to take the chance!
Laugh all you want. Walnut WOOD is listed as an irritant, sensitizer, and potential (albeit rare) cause of NPC (Nasopharyngeal carcinoma). Look it up. Methinks what's in the wood goes up with the smoke.

Sure walnut dust...not smoke

I love building with walnut - use it routinely. If I'm doing very much milling, I have to use a mask to keep from getting too much in my nose - sinuses start telling me about it! On the other hand, I have worked with other woods, such as makore, to which most people are highly sensitive and it doesn't bother me.
This is not the best comment I have heard.There is warnings all the time not to burn treated woods it makes the chemicals airborn thru the smoke.What is the difference burning black walnut.I believe there is a great amount of fantastic wood out there to smoke with.Why take the chance ?
