Welcome Doogie. I personally stay away from chips. I find them too fast-burning, even if soaked. Others swear by them, but I prefer chunk wood. It smoulders much better (instead of "burn"), and produces a better quality smoke. Just make sure to get a good quality wood from a supplier like Fruitawood; stay away from the hardware store bags (usually way to dry).
Check out the "What wood do you use" section for good ideas and info!
Introduce yourself in the Introductions section when you can!
