Fungus on the wood

[Eric Hartnell]

Looked at my wood supply the other day an noticed a little fungus growing on some of the wood. Is it worth saving or tossing.

I figure if the wood it engulfed in flames the fungus don't have a chance and it would probably burn off before I insert my meat in the cooker.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

With any luck the fungus will impart hallucinogenic properties to the meat and your ribs will sing fireside cowboy songs to you.

You can taste an off flavor with wood in this condition. I would not use it.
