can i use any hardwood for smoking as my brother makes snooker cues and has alot of mixed hardwood shavings such as ebony, ash, tulipwood etc.all the wood is seasoned and untreated.
 
I wouldn't think so as it has a unique and pungent odor. Now if you have shavings, burn them and see if you like them. I have never heard of anyone ever using ebony to cook or smoke food with.
 
Jet works better.

As stated, burn some and see if it smells okay. If so, you may want to start with something small, like a hamburger to see how it tastes.

If you do try it, please let us know how it goes.
 
I just did a google search. Couldn't find any links about cooking with Ebony. Either it's a poor choice, or no one else has tried it..........
 
See, this is where you share your smoked food with your brother, to get free or cheap wood.

Unless of course you're not a good cook, then all bets are off.
