Has anyone smoked with non-fruiting cherry tree wood? Any thoughts on how that would work out? I ask because I can get a whole tree that was recently cut down, but I am not interested if it will impart a bitter or otherwise "off" taste.

Wild Cherry wood is some of the best smoking wood out there. As our dearly beloved KC Qer alsways said: any wood is good wood as long as it's Cherry!

Well, is it a wild/black cherry, or a what they call a live cherry? A wild/black cherry has bark similar to pine and can grow fairly tall, and not very straight. A live cherry has a smoothish bark and is used more as an ornamental tree because it doesn't get very tall.
Wild/Black Cherry is fine for smoking, not sure I would use the live cherry.

Hmmm good point. He did say "non-fruiting". That rules out Black Cherry unless there is something wrong with the tree. We have thousands of cherry trees here, only ever seen a couple without fruit. I skip over those one.
