    Soaking wood chips

    soaking really does not make any difference in the smoke. Most woods will only soak in about a paper thin layer of wet wood anyway. I only use chunks, never use chips.

    thanksgiving thiefs

    By the title of you post I thought you had suffered the same misfortune as one of my buddies and had all your food stolen right off the smoker.
