Hey guys. I'm having mixed thoughts on soaking my wood chips versus putting them in straight out of the bag. To me, the soaked chips just steam until the water is boiled out and then dry until they reach the smoking point. Is it necessary to soak if there already is a water pan for moisture? I am using a 30" Master Built electric smoke that is not digital in the temp. setting. It just seems like it takes a while to actually start producing smoke. Any thoughts or has anyone modified there smoker to address this? Thanks guys.
