Smoking with walnut????

[obiguns]

Im sure someone has tried smoking with walnut.  If so, how is it?  I have nearly unlimited supply of walnut trees on my property and was wondering.

Here you go.  Seems the general consensus is pass.

Thanks!!!!  Very good to know.  Would hate to ruin a cook with something bitter.

Yup it is a smokeable wood but careful. ....bitter

I've never used it, oak is as strong as I want, and even that in small quantities. I usually use apple or hickory or maple, sometimes mesquite.

But that long list from Dutch doesn't mention railroad ties. Now there's some long-burning wood! Just have to pull the spikes and hook up a come-along to winch them out from under the rails
