I previously purchased some of the Sugar Maple wood chunks and noticed that despite storing the wood in a cool, dry, dark place, the wood appeared to change color. Is the wood still good?
A. Yes – we harvest our Sugar Maple from the maple syrup producing maple tree. Generally, that requires us to harvest the wood between the months of June and January, in advance of the annual tapping of the trees for syrup. Although we do not tap any of the trees we harvest, they are still a maple syrup producer. The Sugar Maple hardwood will change from a light tan/blonde coloring to a deep brown/light gray coloring due to the seasonal change of the wood as influenced by the sap. There is no change to flavor of the wood even with the color change. Q “If I purchase a mixture of wood chunks or chips, are the woods labeled?” A. Yes – we always package each wood species in a separate bag and label each bag clearly with the wood type. Please note, that when ordering a small refill of the chunks or small chip box, there will be two species of wood. For a large refill or “serious smoker” box, there will be three species. If you desire specific wood types, please note this in the comments sec
