Okay, I got the itch after reading this forum for the past few days and went and bought me at CS 009. The box the store gave me was opened and I though no big deal. However, when I got home and unpacked everything it was all damp, manual, boxes, smoker, etc. No big deal until I opened the sample wood box and it was all moldy! Now don't ge me wrong this is not CS's fault it is obviously a problem with the local distributor.
My question is what type of wood is included with the smoker? Also, some of the wood is salvagable I think by scraping mold and chunking it into pieces. Do you think this is safe? Also, all the spices that came with it smell moldy do you think they are okay.
It was kind of wierd all the manuals, etc were damp not wet but just kind of smelled like mold. I know the heat from seasoning will kill the mold and it won't be a problem I was just wondereing if this has happened to anyone else.
Also, I read a thread that I can't seem to find that kind of identified the different pieces of wood by color and weight. Can anyone point me in that direction?
Sorry for any typos didn't spell check just got in from working in yard and had questions I wanted to see if I could get answered. Thanks.
Jeff
