Does Smoke Wood Go Stale? Is All Smoke Wood "The Same"

[Arun L.]

I also agree with Dustin. I have a large supply of smoke wood I got from Woodshed in Orange Ca. Most of it is a least 5 years old or older.
After about one or two years it starts to loose it's smoke flavor, so to compensate I add more wood. Both Barb and I don't like a heavy smoke flavor so it works out okay for us.

Here are my grilling buddies. Abby our Black Lab and Whitney are Golden Retriever, Husky, Coyote mix rescue dog doing what they do best, soaking up some rays. Also guarding the entrance to Weber Road,View attachment 6141

Just remember any wood shipped has to be heat treated by law, whether or not all the company's follow it I have no idea but kiln dry will never have the same flavor as non kiln dried no matter how much water you soak it in
