Hi everyone! I was recently given two burlap sacks full of wood chips from a whiskey barrel and I have no idea what to do with them. I have a offset stickburner and a wsm neither of which I have ever tried chips in. Is it a waste of time to even try using the chips? I'm thinking they are just going to burn real quick to the point where it's a waste of time even trying to use them. Plus I am thinking I will have to keep opening and closing the firebox to add them, adding time to the cook. I'm not a huge fan of soaking wood in water (don't like the flavor...taste like soggy smoke to me). I use dry chunks and lump/charcoal in the wsm and pretty much all wood in the stickburner in the form of splits and chunks. Anybody have any experiences/suggestions you care to share?
 
So use the chunks as well and just add the chips too? Or are you saying just use the chips? Are they not going to just burn up in 5 min and be done? Sorry for all the questions
