Mango wood for smoking??
Any of you Nomads ever used mango wood for smoking?
Have access to lots of it from my neighbor's tree. According to some reports its smoke is toxic since the plant is related to Poison ivy/oak. But
likely it toxicity gets highly exaggerated. Since the fruit is sweet, the smoke should resemble that of cherry, plum and even apple wood.
Any comments?

If you have allergies to mango like I do its not good. If you donīt it makes excellent wood for smoking. I use it to smoke fish for friends and my
wife.

I think it's great for meat, but not so hot for chicken or fish.

You totally beat me to it. It's just so hard to chip it finely enough to get it into into the wrapper.

Saucy, smoked and all round BBQ'd....
Many woods, mostly fruit wood, will add flavorings so trial and success are always needed....
