If you're sanding by hand, use gentle forward and backward motions all the way across the piece. Make sure to keep your hand moving along the wood, rather than staying in one spot. Each spot only needs one or two circular swipes. It's also best to wrap the sandpaper around a wood block or sponge so that a few square inches remain in contact with the wood. This allows you to cover more surface area compared to just holding the sandpaper with your fingers.

I have some nicely dried wood from a pear tree I cut down last year. Will this make a good smoking wood?

Yes, if you allow it to dry all the way. Moist wood is to hard to use, but dry wood can be used.
