Is cherry wood, cherry wood?

Not sure if this is one of those "Duh !" questions or not.

There are two types of cherry wood that I am familar with. One from the fruit tree, and the other from, what I will call, the wild cherry (native to much of the Southeastern US and used for furniture, etc.).

Which one is used by the Q Crew? My guess either is OK. Could be one is superior to the other.

(I want to know because, I'm watching a neighbors "fruit" cherry tree about to fall over. Being the good neighbor I am, I'll of course offer to cut it up for her)

Thanks in advance.
 
Steve,

Good question. I don't know the answer, but I just found cherry chunks locally, at a place selling "Chigger Creek Products" and it is labelled "Wild Cherry."
 
Steve,

Looks like you are a typical B.O.B. (BBQ Obsessive Disorder)sufferer. You fit #6 of the top ten ways to tell...

Steve...

I had a large wild cheery tree growing in my yard. I hired a crew to cut it and several other trees down. I saved two large logs from the wild cheery to cut up for smoking. They are drying now and I plan on using them this winter. The tree surgeon told me it made wonderful wood for smoking meat. I will let you know in a couple of months if he's right.

Cheers!!!

I assumed wild cherry trees produced cherries too, although maybe smaller. The package has a drawing of two cherries on it!

Seems like a 'real' fruit tree would be better.
