Try this again and see if anyone out there has tried it.
Anyone here ever actually used Apricot wood for their smoke source?
Just ended up with some nice 3 - 4" limbs and wondered if I was going to see how it looked on pistola grips, knives or tasted using it in a smoker
Pass on the grips and handles unless stabilized... juvenile reaction wood is a PITA in use. And it just looks like very orange-stained cherry...
For smoking it is about the same as cherry. I prefer to cut it with a milder smoke like alder to eliminate bitter flavors. It is worth using.
