When to put more wood in the box

Former Member

If I'm using wood chunks, they'll usually smoke for a good 3-4 hours, so I don't need to replace them for short smoking. But, if I use wood chips instead of chunks, they seem to burn up pretty quickly and stop smoking after about 45 minutes.

So, my question is this: when the wood stops smoking, should I open the CS and put a new load in there, or will that over-smoke my food? For example, the theory goes that chicken needs about 2oz of wood, but that 2oz burns up long before the chicken is done, so what should I do?

Thanks!

A lot of folks like to go light on smoke for chicken,anyway.

It is cheap,so I'd just experiment with gradual increases and keep good records of what works for you.
