I have quite a bit of that apple wood still around, Lowbrass. Kept it in brand-new galvanized trashcans all this time. It still burns predictably, or perhaps I've adjusted to the wood without realizing. If you or your brother are ever wanting for some... say the word.
Bob BQ, OTP-related files on my laptop files say 2012. It's picking up some rust spots. Looking for a remedy, Google dropped me off here.
Thanks for the welcomes, one and all. Keep your loved ones and yourselves safe.
