I for one think it smells awesome when it burns, very rich and pleasant to me personally. But I have also heard like erc it is one of those woods that you are not supposed to smoke with, maybe because of the resins/oils in it might be bad for you?

I use Osage for the heat source for the smoker (Let it burn down to coals)  but prefer Pecan for the smoke.

Others have said they used it for smoking but my findings is it is about like smoking over a sappy pine board, not a good taste.

Don't know about Cali Bubb but in BC we have a weed tree as we refer to it, its Alder not as good as Hickory for smoking but next best thing.  I have have cooked Pork Chops on the open fire using alder wood and raw leaves from the bush.  Last time I cooked some Ribs and I'll tell you I have never had meat taste so good in my life.  8) :o 8) :o 8) :o 8) :o

IMHO there is no substitute for open fire cooking..... 8)
