Chips or pellets!.

[joel75]

Been browsing around on the interweb , and for the life of me I can't figure which way to go with the above,any advice?..

Horses for courses really - I use both and they both work well. The pellets are more convenient to store I find but both give good flavour. If you buy pellets make sure that they are 100% the wood you are buying and do not use a filler - often Oak.

I have Pellets, because I have a Pellet smoker, but use them on my other pits as well. You will find over time, that you will pick all sorts of woods up from various places.

There seems to be loads out there to choose from!..

Some common woods...

• Fruit wood / pellets are generally mild and are good with delicate flavoured meats like fish
• Hickory - Very commonly used and is good for all smoking. Sweet smoke smell and flavour
• Pecan - similar to hickory
• Oak - Good for use with most red meats
• Mesquite - Very strong and can be an acquired taste. Traditional Texas flavour.

Here is a chart from deejayssmokepit.net that may help you decide
