I have a #1 but I believe all the Smoking-It smokers work better with wood chunks. Chips burn faster and you may have to add more during the first few hours. You get a longer, more consistent smoke with chunks.

Chunks provide a more stable, long lasting smoke ... chips can be used (with the chip screen accessory) but I think you'll find that chunks are both cost effective and provide a more robust smoke flavor.

Why use chips when you have room for chunks?
