I just want to add to what Pit 4 Brains said about not needing to soak the chips. I agree 100%. Once a piece of wood has dried out, you would have to submerge it for days on end, if not weeks to make it take on water.
Thats a vey good question. I have a similar DO, that I inherited, but it only has minor flaking on the outside. Inside is still in pretty good condition.

I finally pulled the ribs at about 5:30, I wrapped those and the sausages in foil to allow them to rest a bit. Temp. wise, I have no clue. I was getting crazy temps so I decided to use a wooden skewer, tooth pick style. I was getting just the slightest bit of resistance when poking the meat. ...
