Hey all - I'm smoking meatloaves for the family Christmas tomorrow and just got delivered half a rick of wet hickory. It's from a guy I've used a lot before and he's great - he promised that it's well-seasoned but it's been sitting outside and it's just very wet to the touch. I recently left some cherry in the rain for a few hours and then tried to smoke with it - man, that was horrible!! Watched moisture constantly dripping out the end of each split while they were in the firebox.
I'd be smoking on a Pecos offset, but I've also got an MES 40 that I could use worst-case. BUT, now I'm thinking maybe I could fill the MES with wood tonight and just use it as an oven tonight to dry out enough wood to smoke tomorrow?? What do you all think is the best play here?
Sure appreciate all the help - truly this forum is the friendliest place on the net!!!!
