Can you use fresh wood?

Newbie im just getting started and had an electric before my off set i have now. I have always used store chips or chungs. I have a client that gave me a few logs from his apple tree. When you say green wood what do u guys mean?

Green wood is unseasoned wood.

Green means just cut also wet inside, not seasoned

It was a nice so i chunked the apple up for my smoker. 1st time using cut not store bought.
It came from a tree thats been cut for a few years but stump is still in.
Few pieces were damp still and green under the bark but then rest are dty under the bark and core was dry. Do u think its ok to burn? Or wait a few months

I noticed appl is the only one that's green under the bark. Give it a try I'm sure it will taste great as long as u can get the fire started. If it's to wet it will be hard to light. I've got a downed apple and it had some of the roots in the ground and was still alive, or just went down. Use a propane torch to start your fire
