I just got a large box of hickory, maple, and cherry double filets from smokinlicious today. The hickory smells musty, and has mold on it. A card was sent along with the wood, the specific moister levels of each, and how to sanitize it if it gets moldy.
Is this normal/acceptable to get moldy wood from them?
If so, do I sanitize all the wood now, or just each piece before smoking?
Then how should I store it?
Thanks for the input
