Thoughts on Wild Cherry Wood?

Eatin Smoke · May 9, 2014

Friend of mine offered up some seasoned wild cherry wood. Anyone ever used this type of wood on their stick burner? Is it any good?

I've had good luck with it but as a flavoring wood in chunks for chicken on a kettle. Also helped with color.

^^^ same here , great with lamb!
I wouldn't hesitate using it.

Yep, use it a lot. Sticks and chunks.

Sounds like a winning proposition, cherry wood is great for smoking.

All wood is good for smoking as long as it is cherry!

Wild Cherry is better then the fruit tree type you get from the orchards, fruit tree cherry is VERY dense and hard to split because of all the knots(caused by pruning). Wild cherry normally grows like a toothpick(straight up). Both taste the same, but I prefer wild hands down!!

Wild Cherry is all I use! Go for it and you'll be very happy you did.

Keith putting a pork butt on here in just a few............you're more than welcome to swing this way. I'm not sure how much field work we'll get done since it rained yesterday real good and I'm still doing some repairs.

Just got a load of cherry splits yesterday. Paid 45.00 for a full pickup truck. I guess that is a good price. Let me if it is not. It is a lot more than it looks like in the pics. 5 wheel barrels full is in the shed.Can not wait to try it.

My thoughts on wild cherry are "No Dad, you don't need to burn that wood in your heater. I'll use it for smoking."
Love the way it works magic.

A quote from KCquer, one of the patriarchs of the Brethren, and the person the Q-talk roadmap thread is named for.
He was right then, and is still right. Cherry all the way.
