My brother just had 2 cherry trees cut down and I took most of the wood. I usually use apple wood: any suggestions as to best meats to smoke with cherry?
Best uses for cherry wood?

Cherry is my personal favorite and I like it with everything. Ribs, Poultry, pork butt. Add in a little apple or oak for beef and you are all set.

Pork....Cherry mixed with some hickory or oak......
Cherry is not good for anything - box it up and send it to me - I don't want you to ruin your Q.
Cherry is good with just about everything.... lucky you!

I love cherry smoke with pork - especially ribs. I destroyed my cherry stash this winter but the in-laws are bringing me some green cuttings to try in a couple of weekends.

I love cherry for everything.......just be sure to use it soon ( I like it seasoned 3 to 6 months). Recently started burning some cherry that was well seasonond (4 years out) and the smoke was awful, that stuff will go into the wood stove:sad:

As my friend KCQuer used to say, "Any wood is good for smoking as long as it is cherry!" (Miss ya, Bro!)
Cherry is good for anything, but is excellent on pork or chicken.

My local grocery chain had bags of cherry chips for $1.79. I picked up 2 and am now more excited to try it out. I'd say something about cherries and first times but I'm not in woodpile and don't feel like going to the penalty box. I'm a first time cherry user as well. Good score brother!

Cherry is WONDERFUL for smoking everything! It can be a pain to split. Here's what I do: let it dry until you see the wood cracking on the ends. Then take your chain saw (or a machete) and slit the bark right at the end of one of the cracks. Cherry bark is like Kevlar, holds the log together amazingly well. Slit the bark and then it splits great.
I use it for pork and beef and would use it on chickens and fish too if I were to smoke those.

Were these fruit trees or wild cherry?

Cherry is our favorite also. We use Black Cherry. It has a mild smoky flavor. We add a little bit of hickory or beechnut.

Once you've smoked a few pieces of meat with the wood, the absolute BEST uses
are to box up about 20 lbs and send them (a bunch of boxes) to your bbq-brethren

I use it a lot, but my favorite is with a nice big turkey.
