    Chips in a smoke tube?

    I just got an MES and am new to smoking. I was thinking about getting a smoke tube, like the amnts. Can wood chips also be used in those, or only pellets?

    Howdy from GA

    I was raised in TX and currently live in GA. I never was much of a cook until a couple of years ago. I recently got an MES, so I'm new to the smoking world and am looking forward to learning and playing.
