Anyone try Mulberry for Smoke Wood?

[Ron G.]

Trimmed out some fairly thick, low-hanging branches at my Mom's place.

Cut the small stuff off and have enough wood for about 2-3 smokes.
Most fruit and nut woods are supposed to work.
Seems softish/ wondering if anyone else has tried it and if so, what'd you think of the results?

It's a good wood. Mild, similar to apple. I've used it on chicken and pork, nice sweet smell.

I use it when I get some, works good, not heavy.

I've got some I cut down too but I haven't tried it.

Yesterday I read a review for The Wood Shack in St Louis.
This caught my eye:
"The Soulard Primer ($13), for example, features prime rib. Delgado smokes this over hickory and mulberry. The latter imparts a subtly sweet smokiness reminiscent of applewood."

Thanks for the replies,

Looks like I'm going to have to let this stuff dry-out a bit, and then give it a try.
Sometime later this year my brother and I will be cutting down two medium sized Apple trees, so I expect to have a near-lifetime supply of that...

I need to get "chummy" with an apple farmer! And a cherry farmer! Peach, pear, grape, all grow around here in great bounty!

I love using mulberry. It's nice and mild with a great aroma

Plenty of apple and peach around here, not so much with cherry. Lots of pecan trees too, but my last attempt with limbs from my yard resembled pee-can (yuck).

I'll have to look into mulberry.
