Persimmon Wood Smoking?

[jimleeb]

Has anyone had any experience with smoking with Persimmon wood. I just cut down a Persimmon tree in the back yard and was wondering if that was good wood to smoke with? What type of flavor can I expect?

Here is a handy site for wood.

I saved that link to the wood site, although it had every kind of wood but Persimmon, I will use it in the future. I found it is good to cook with but, I never found the what taste to expect? When I smoke with it I will post it.
Thanks again.
