chips and chunks

[cameraman]

I ordered some weber smoking wood from Amazon. I thought I was ordering chunks, but I ordered chips. Can you use chips on a WSM?

Yes. Alternate layers of charcoal and chips.

i have not tried. But if I were in your shoes, I might make foil pouches, fill with a fistfull of chips, and poke holes in it. I would think the chips would go 'poof' pretty fast otherwise.

You'd have to put them in a foil pouch and poke holes in the pouch for the smoke to escape. If you put chips directly on the coals they burn pretty quick imparting little smoke flavor.

I'll give the poked foil balls a try. Thanks
