Congratulations on the baby boy!   I have been using smokilicious wood with great success in my #2...the double filet cut fits nicely in the smoke box.  I put my wood in the back of the box and have not had combustion problems with their wood.

...any advice on storage?

I store mine in the box it comes in, no problems.  If you keep the wood indoors, in the colder weather, there will be less moisture in the air, so you might consider keeping the chunks in Ziploc bags to preserve moisture.

Hey Tony, Seems like I remember Greg putting his wood ziplock bags and vacuum sealing them? This sounds like a good idea.

As of now, I have my wood in the box that it came in stored in the garage.   They suggested cutting holes in the sides of the box, so I did that as well.   I also have some Tupperware containers in the garage that I have used to store wood...I just add a wet rag in a zip lock bag (left open) to add moisture.

Hey Steve, right now mine is in the box it came in also, just did not cut any holes in the sides. I am thinking about getting some large 2 gallon zip lock bags and storing it that way.

That should work too, but you might want to check the moisture content from time to time.   My packing instructions with the smokilicious wood mentioned punching holes in the sides, so I did that.
