Mystery cherry wood...good for smoke?

[themoffittman]

I got my hands on some wood which I know to be some sort of cherry...perhaps black cherrry...actually, most likely black cherry. If seasoned, is it suitable for smoking? A co-worker questions black cherry's suitability for smoking. He says is might be too sappy. Any help is appreciated!!

I think Black Cherry is the most common and largest of the Cherries. Probably the variety most of us burn. If the logs are a larger diameter that's what you most likely have...good stuff.

Brian,

The cherry wood that I use in my smoker is Black Cherry.

Here is a link to the Woods for Smoking list.
