It's a good idea to use a dedicated rip blade, especially when ripping hard woods like maple, oak, etc. Something like 24 teeth max on a 10" blade, with a triple chip grind.

The way he explains, it sounds like a deteriorating condition, most likely dirty or dull blade, I think.
And some species like cherry are more susceptible to burning.
