what do you soak your wood in.

squid,

I think you are correct. that is why people talk or write here. we learn from each others mistakes and their creations. I posted this to see what every one does. and each smokes with a differnt smoker some huge some small, all that goes into their answer. I think the moist ness of the chips/wood drying before combustion are smolder takes place may do good. and depending what the stuff was soaked in ,may add a great flavor to the item being smoked..welcome to de club... by the way..
