7-10 days sounds really, really restrictive to me.
If you are using fruit woods for flavor, meaning you have hard woods or charcoal for the main heat source, they can be used soon after cutting. No need for a lot of aging.
The flavor does deteriorate with age, but I am thinking in "months" not "days".
Good Luck,
TIM
