If you go with smokinlicious, be sure to get the double filet cut as they fit best in the smoke box (although some pieces may need to be split). I ordered a double filet box with cherry and hickory and it has lasted me about a year. I will be ordering the three-pack variety next time. They advise you to punch holes in the sides of the box for air flow and to just keep the wood in the box. That's what I did and I keep it in the garage...I have had no problems at all with the wood and highly recommend the company!
