QUESTION: CAN I USE OAK AND BOURBON WINE BARREL CHIPS IN MY SM009 JUST AS I WOULD USE CHUNK PIECES?
DO I NEED TO USE LESS DUE TO THE CHIPS VS. CHUNKS?
ANY GOOD RECIPES FROM THE FORUM

We used to play a game as kids trying to trick them by asking them this question?
Which weighs more, a ton of feathers? or a ton of lead?
As kids, 99% of the time they all said a ton of lead.

Yes, you can use chips but.. they will burn much faster than a 2-3 oz chunk (more surface area to heat and less density). I think some have succesfully putting chips in a foil pouch and poking a few holes in the foil.
Hope this helps a little.

I've also heard some talk about flame-ups and fire from chips. So the foil pack Wheelz suggested may prevent that from happening.
I don�t know if you could really tell the difference in taste, but �chunks� from seasoned, old, white oak, wine/bourbon barrels sure sounds intriguing. Too bad you can�t get some �chunks�. Hope the chips work out for you�let us know.

I would be interested if someone has bought one of the half barrels from the Home Despot etc. and cut it up for smoking wood chunks. Not counting the labor it would probably be about these same price as wood from Wally World. And Wally World you can't buy wood that gave it's heart to some of the world's finest sippin' Whiskey and Cabernets, maybe it would like to go out as being burned for some of the world's finest Q
