Mulberry wood is a hard wood.

On a firewood rating sheet I have, Osage Orange or Hedge tree, is ranked the highest for heat output at 100. Ash is 73, white oak is 80 and mulberry is 79. It ranks mulberry as "excellent" for firewood, low smoke with a good aroma, however it does throw sparks.
The likely term is "mulberry wood" (woodwork material).
It makes meat fresh and makes it last longer
if you cut the meat into thin slices before you smoke it, it should get done faster. Thus reducing the taste of the smoke. If you want jerky then that is fine, but if you want to smoke a large cut of meat like a ham, brisket, turkey etc... then you should make sure that your wood is a mild, well seasoned (not green) hardwood. Most nut bearing trees yield a mild smoke, the wood should be at least a year old and must be split wood with NO bark. The greener the wood the heavier the smoke. Build your fire and let it burn down to a bed of coals before you put the meat on. Then add smaller pieces of wood to keep the heat constant. It should be about 180 d F. (as low as 165 but not over 200) Generally speaking an hour per pound is an adequate cooking time. regards, the BBQman
Like a woodburning smoker, the Masterbuilt is designed to smoke meat over the user's choice of wood, but it uses a tempature controlled electric heating element to heat the wood and produce the smoke.
Yes.
A smokehouse is a special building in which to preserve fish and meat that are hung up on racks. The space is filled with dense smoke (usually from a wood fire) to preserve the fish and meat.
yes. just be sure it is seasoned (dried) properly. that goes for any wood.
Wet wood, vegetation, and plastics will make a thick, dark smoke that should not be breathed in. Dry wood and dead leaves make a thinner, grayish smoke.
