My neighbor just cut down a mullberry tree in his yard. Is this wood any good for smoking as it is a fruitwood? Haven't heard of anyone using it!

Yup it sure is! Smoked some cheddar with it and it was lights out! I liked it more than the other woods I've used on cheddar.

Sadly I don't have any, but my friend Stan has a tree and had used it on more than just cheese. Hopefully he will see this post and chime in.

I'd guess its good on poultry as most fruit woods are.

Yep Mulberry is right up there with Cherry for cheese for me..I thought the color of the cheese rockstar and I smoked was a little lighter then Smokes I did with Cherry.  I like to mix Mulberry with Hickory for Ribs.  Free mulberry is a great find..Congrats
