Japanese cherry blossom wood?

March 19, 2022, 07:24 PM

Just took down a dead Japanese cherry blossom tree in the yard. Wood seems to be in good condition from what I can tell about it (which ain't much), but it's not rotted or anything. Would this make for good smoking? Do I need to do anything with it besides cutting to the size I want?

Might be best suited for a Japanese dish.

It isn’t as good as fruiting cherry trees, but will suffice for smoke wood. As mentioned above, let it season before smoking.
