I don't like to just throw stuff in the trash to go to the land fill. I have a small vegetable garden that my grass clippings, etc go into to break down. Can I do that with the chips and chunks that I have used in the smoker and are now all burnt?
What to do with wood after smoking?

You should have ash left.... wood ash has many micro nutrients that the garden needs... It has a high pH so eventually, after many pounds, you may need some ammonium sulfate to bring the pH down a little... don't worry for a few years about the pH... I put all the ash from my pellet stove in the garden... I burn 6-7 tons of pellets during the winter... I will take a guess that amounts to 50#'s of ash for the year... I throw in a few handfuls of (NH[sub]4[/sub])[sub]2[/sub]SO[sub]4 to reduce the alkalinity and add nitrogen.... [/sub]
