A buddy of mine gave me some walnut for the smoker. I've never used it, and I see the net says this:
Walnut - Walnut is best used for red meats and strong tasting, heavy game because of the strong and somewhat bitter flavor it provides. It is often mixed with woods with milder flavors in order to provide a more subtle flavor to foods.
Has any ever used Walnut? How was it, and would you do it again? I'm a bit bothered by the "bitter" part of that description......
Got about 2-3 hours to answer this, or I'm on my own and am going to try it on a grilled meatloaf (beef - red meat). Save me if you can!
