A friend wants to give us a bunch of cedar elm for our smoker. I realize that it is in the elm family and not related to cedar or ashe juniper but I have never heard it being used for smoking meats. Friend claims it's good. Any input?

May as well try it, if you don't like it, get rid of it on craigslist as fire wood, or use it yourself for any fires where you aren't trying to smoke. Or see if the friend has anything he's smoked with it that you could taste test.
I've got a butt load of cut cedar elm on the side of my house. Mostly from branches that have broken off my trees.
I've used it for firewood, but never thought of using it in the smoker. Live oak and mesquite only.

Do not use it to smoke meat. You will find out why it has its nickname.
Isn't that the piss elm?
I'd burn it in a bonfire, fire pit, or fire place, but I'd avoid the smoker.
Yes don't use it for cooking over.
It's the only thing R Kelly uses in his smoker.
