Reply to "wood not burning"

Hey there smokers !!

I have been using my sm025 for The last two years with great results !! The last 3 smokes I have found that my wood is not burning completely down to ash. I was used to seeing it burn up all of the way. I always placed the wood all the way to the back of the tray. I am using the cookshack wood. For example I have a packer brisket in right now at 200. I opened it up to check the wood after about 10 hrs. One piece had burned the other two were black, not ashen. I moved the wood to the front of the tray to see what happened. I store the wood in my finished basement in an open container. Also has been extremely humid outside for the last few smoKes. Before this one I did push up on the burner to get it closer to the tray in case that was the problem. Any thoughts on what would cause it to stop burning completely ??
