I know someone who just cut down a huge mullberry non fruit bearing tree. Could I use this as smoke wood?

There are a couple of other threads on mulberry here and here.
I use a lot of mulberry since my brother gave me some he was planning to use for firewood. I expect part of my mulberry tree to fall in my yard in the next couple of weeks so I'll have some for the next couple of years. Should be perfectly seasoned by next summer when I run out of my current supply. I use it on almost everything and add a little black walnut or oak when I want a stronger smoke flavor. I'll be using some on deviled eggs this weekend.

I leave the bark on. I've never noticed a difference in the bark on/off controversy. Some of what I have is from a young tree with very thin bark that would be difficult to remove. I generally use appoximately fist-sized chunks although last week I used one that was about 6" long.

Cherry and apple are v. good on chicken and turkey. Don't forget peach for pork!

you don't need to smoke fish to play with different woods. as mentioned cherry and apple are good with poultry and pork. cherry is particularly good because its hard to over use.
