Smokehouses: does anyone use logs?

[atcnick]

I'm in the process of building a new smokehouse for smoking cured meats. I plan on burning wood splits for smoke and smoke/heat for warm smoking. I noticed that most on here use pellets, dust, mazes, propane. Any of you guys do it more traditionally with wood splits?

We used to do it that way, it's the way my family did it for ages, the old smokehouse is still set up that way.
I gave up on it because there are better ways that are more reliable and allow more precise control of temperature and smoke.
