wood chips

Chips burn up pretty quick,and dry they could flame.

I guess wetting them would slow them down.

I'd probably just get me some hardwood,or nut wood chunks and move ahead.

I have had very good luck with chips.
As loong as they do not get a draft of air, they will smolder a long time.
Soaking will slow the burn but is not necessary.

Good luck!

Some here have suggested moistening the wood chips, throwing them on a piece of foil and making a packett out of it. Poke a few holes in the foil to allow the smoke to escape. I agree with Tom though, just get some hardwood or fruitwood chunks.

Hope this hels a little.

the chips should do fine in a foil packet with a few tiny holes poked in it.
we use pellets in our sm that way and it works fine

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Cookshack specifically states not to soak the wood. I'd go with the foil idea.
