OLD HICKORY WOOD FOR SMOKING

[zero250]

Hey there!.................I just discovered that I have a bunch of sticks and limbs in my back yard which have fallen off of a hickory tree...........they have been on the ground for a couple of years......are they suitable for use in my ECB, or do they need to be newer?........They are NOT rotten or soft, just old.............Any suggestions?......

They should be perfect--aged and dried.
