Logs in a Cabinet Smoker?

[kingnothing]

Can I use logs in a cabinet smoker?  Are cabinet smokers intended for small chips and chunks only?  I mean the square vertical propane smokers.  I have a barrel-style side-by-side that I have used for many years with great results.  I have a large stockpile of logs.  In theory, if I get a vertical smoker I could cut the logs into small chunks.  Is that necessary?

You can use chunks in your propane smoker that have been cut from logs.

That's what I do. It's much cheaper than buying chunks.
