wood chips

[doogie]

Can I wrap wood chips or pellets in foil pouch with holes in it, and place in wood box?

i have never tried that with chips... maybe soak them first for a short period of time... others on this forum may be better at helping you with this question..

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!

Chunks for me too.  Never tried chips but I think they would burn too quickly.  If I did use them, I would certainly wrap them in foil.  But I will stay with chunks.

I would stay away from chips. Try the chunks they smoke much better. I recommend fruitawood for chunks. Good quality wood.
