I had a country home that had dozens and dozens of black walnut trees. It makes great firewood and great boards. I had a few fall down during 2 extreme wind storms and a saw mill came and removed them for free and what they couldn't use, they gave back to me in fire wood.
Anyhow Black Walnut is not the best for smoking food. There are toxins called juglones that prevent certain plants from growing near them. Some gardens planted too near black walnut trees do not perform well.
I have used black walnut for smoking some chicken and a small pork shoulder. It wasn't bad but not as good as other species of wood.
I would just stick to plain old firewood.
