Hello All:
A friend of mine just cut down an ornamental cherry tree, and gave me a number of limbs - 4-8 inches in diameter.
Are there varieties of cherry that are not suited for smoking meat (as chunks used with charcoal)? Also, as this was a live tree, and recognizing there are variables involved including humidity, temperature, etc., approximately how long, on average, should it take to properly season before attempting to smoke with it, if it may be used?
Thanks for any input you might provide.
