So, my SM045 came in today, and after I got it set up and the seasoning started, I called my dad to tell him (well, ok, to brag). It turns out, he has about 1 ton *each* of apple and cherry (along with several hundred pounds of hickory, beech, and maple) in his shed that he had cut up about 2-3 years ago for fire wood (shortly thereafter, he installed a gas fireplace).
Is the wood still ok to use in my new smoker, or is it too old? Is there a way to tell if wood is "too old" to use? Finally, any suggestions on using maple and/or beech?
Thanks in advance!
