Bark is fine, won't hurt anything.

Left on is fine, you just dont want pieces that are 70% bark is all. Which
would be difficult with apple's generally thin bark anyway.
These are from last fall?

If it is seasoned it can be left on. If it is green, it is best to pre-burn
the wood to near coals before cooking with it.

not like dogwoods---ruff!

monroe(hard cider can be hair of the dog tho)

Leave it on. Either pre-burn to get rid of the gasses 'OR' make
sure that your fire is hot enough when you add fuel that the
gasses burn instantly instead of depositing on your food. If
you're just using the apple for smoke on top of an existing
throttled down fire, don't do it. It's going to smolder and you're
not going to like the result.
