Do local woods work well for smoking?

[Fishboy]

There's another thread that's talking about the abundance of indigenous wood, and EightFingers mentioned that ohi'a is good for smoking. This is significant news for me, but I don't want to hijack that thread. I'd like to know if anyone has used ohi'a, or any other locally available wood for the smoker.
