Walnut is a nutwood and nutwoods are known to be great wood for smoking almost all types
of meats. Unfortunately, walnut wood is actually not a great option if you want to smoke them
It's a very strong hardwood with a heavy bitter flavor that can be too acidic and tart for
most houses. Also, some people are very allergic to walnut sawdust when smoked
In some cases, it may trigger an asthma attack. For this reason, you must be very careful when smoking with walnut
There are, however, some exceptions when walnut wood is an option for smoking
The only meats that can be smoked with walnut wood are game meats and red meats like beef
As Luke suggested, if you are going to smoke walnut, you mix it with other nutwoods like
almond and pecan or oak or fruitwoods such as pear and apple
It should give a sweet-sweet taste. You want the taste of the milder wood to come through and only a slight flavor from the
walnut since it's so tangy. If you do decide to give walnut a try, make sure to keep in mind that probably the best
way to go is to mix it with other wood. Let us know in the comment section down below whether you've tried walnut wood
