Do you bury wood chunks? Set them on top?
What is your setup like regarding wood chunks?
|
I usually bury now since I no longer have an offset. With the old offset, I'd go right on top. With the UDS though, I have hinged grates so in theory I could add wood right on top if I wanted to. Haven't tried it yet..
|
I bury some and put some on top after I dump the hot coals in my fire basket.
|
In the UDS I bury 4-5 fist sized pieces and drop on on top when the pork hits the pit.
If I'm cooking a brisket on the UDS I take a piece of Mesquite about 3" across and 8 " tall it goes into the middle standing on end and the lump gets packed around it. It gives me just the right amount of smoke over the whole cook. |
Bury. Often chunks laid on top will burst into flames due to exposure to air resulting in a spike in temps.

Buried, but peeking out.
|
Bury a few and lay a couple on top. No reasoning behind the two on top, just looks good to me.

I bury 4 to 5 fist sized chunks of wood in my charcoal.

I really like to bury my wood.

bury

Buried initially, toss upon the fire when needed to stoke more smoke. I also have been known to place a chunk or two in the chimney starter when building the initial fire. No rules, do whatever you want.
|
On my WSM i do a combo of bury & placing on top. On my KJ I just place on top.
|
Bury & some on top.

I light 2 spots in my egg, put a chunk on each hot spot and wait for thin blue.
