Thanks, Bob! He's definitely right - 7-10 is pretty dry for smoking...can you say "kindling?" lol. There have been quite a few posts about wood catching fire in the smokers, and I suspect this is the main cause. If you combine really low-moisture wood with lots of O2 (like when you open the door to peek), you're gonna get a flame!
By the way, does this wood in the bundles still have bark, or has it been planed/shaped?
