Walnut for Smoking?

Former Member

Has anyone tried walnut wood for smoking? I saw walnut in pellet form on someone's site this morning.

I have tons of walnut available but wondering what kind of flavor it imparts. What kind of meat, fish, veges might it be good/best for?

Thanks, Willy

Wee Willy,

I would highly recommend you steer clear of black walnut wood for smoking anything: nasty. It does make for a nice gun cabinet though.

WeeWilly,
I have not used walnut bacause I have heard it imparts a strong flavor. This is what I found out it.... WALNUT - ENGLISH and BLACK - Very heavy smoke flavor, usually mixed with lighter woods like almond, pear or apple. Can be bitter if used alone. Good with red meats and game.....I find hickory a little to strong by it self so I cut it with milder woods......just me though
