What is the difference between wood chunks and pellets. Is one better than the other? How do you tell 2oz of wood and 4 oz. Is there a way to measure that?

Weigh it!
I use a cheep food OZ scale. works good
Exact weight usually isn't real critical,unless oversmoking.
In a pinch,a golfball sized chunk of many woods gets you close to an oz.
When in doubt,use less.
You can add more next time.
Yep,the food/diet scales help you learn to estimate.
Pellets in a foil pouch may add flavor to a gas grill,as they burn relatively quickly.

Tom is right about the golf ball idea. When in doubt try the postage scale at work. Also If you have a Fry's in your area they have their digital scales out on display and you could always wheigh a chunk to get an idea of what a paticular size chunk of wood weighs. but the golf ball aproach is nice because that is about the size that also fits under the lid of the wood box.
