A buddy from work gave me a couple huge chokecherry limbs. Anybody ever use it for smoking? I'm assuming it will be like apple or cherry. Just curious, haven't tried it yet.

Yes you can use it for smoking. It is very much like using other fruit woods. Just make sure it seasoned well.

I live in the Maryland mountains and choke cherry is the easily wood to get for my smokehouse. Extra stuff feeds the wood stove not too bad either.
