Red gooey sap stuff

[motolife313]

Trying it out tonight. It's from a cherry that died couple years ago. It's getting a preheat on the fb the into the smoker it goes. I've seen Myron mixon talk about it. This stuff was in the crotch of a piece of wood, not growing on the outside. Think it's still as good?

When was the wood split? How long ago?

About an hour ago.

I’m thinking it’s still green. Unsplit wood takes a looong time to season. But, that color stuff is normal.

Use a small amount of that cherry, mix with seasoned wood.

It's a bacterial canker.

Aww. Good job on researching that. And I thought it was normal, cause i’ve seen it before and thought nothing of it. Well, looks like I owe motolife a beer!
