Smoke with Ash?

[SmokyMose]

A fellow down the road mills wooden stakes for construction use and has piles of off-cuts 2"x 2" around a foot long which I've acquired a pile of to use for fireplace kindling. I was wondering if Ash is any good for smoking. I figured I could cut into 1" or 2" slices and use them like chunks in my Masterbuilt. Anyone used Ash?

Looks good to use to me.

Thanks for the link, c farmer! I should have known there would be something on the site if I tried a search! I may work a few pieces in on that rack of short ribs I've been planning for the weekend....
