I smoked my first offset-smoker brisket and pulled wood from my fire pit log pile. The logs are grey after several seasons, and I may have gotten other wood types besides oak in the firebox. My cooled smoker has a bit of an acrid smell (the brisket I cooked tasted good, though). Is it possible to dirty up the inside of a smoker with dirty smoke or non-food types of wood so that it needs cleaning and re-seasoning?
