    wood and/or charcoal?????

    I am a very new beginner to smoking, but want to learn really bad. I just got an offset smoker (New Braunfels Longhorn). My question is do I smoke with mainly charcoal and just throw a peice of wood on every now and then, and when I do use wood, do I burn it for a while before putting it in...
