Possible wood for smoking?

This tree has some large branches that fell last year and are now dry enough to use. I live in eastern NC. Any ideas?

Does it flower and if so, what color? Are branches shown coming from tree in back ground?

Yes and here is a closer pic of the bark

Does the tree bear purplish berries and turn bright red in the fall?

I honestly can't remember. Last fall was very busy

I'm almost sure from your pics it's a black tupelo (black gum). Maybe others can chime in on Id and use.
