Use olive wood as you would any mild to medium wood chips. I have used it in the past, but it's hard to find in Arizona  and (to me) there is nothing special about it. There are so many good smoking woods available, I don't use it anymore.

If it's free it's even better!

First thing I thought of as well!  That's some pretty wood!

However, people use it to smoke with and some swear by it.
