I got some apple wood for free from this guy who owns an orchard here in MA. Some of it was green so i split it and chopped it into chunks on the mitre saw and am waiting a good 6 months before i use it in the WSM.
My question is about the other seasoned applewood. Im guessing its fairly seasoned, possibly even a little on the old side. It is a dark red almost brown color, and under the bark looks like it has some termites or other little critters. They made trails on the surface of the wood where I'm guessing they burrowed. Is this wood good to smoke with or will the insects make the wood taste terrible?
Thanks a lot
