WOOD CHUNKS VS CHIPS

[jimmybh]

I successfully did my first smoke in my SMOKIN-IT-3 using chunks of hickery. I want to use apple when smoking the pork butt. My locally owned hardware carries apple, but only in large chip form. Any pros and cons on this are welcome concerning the amount of wood vs the amount of chips especially if you are familiar with the performance of my style of smoker. Thank you, Jimmy

The chips will work fine.  They will likely burn a bit quicker, so you may need to refill the chip box a little more often.  I'm not real familiar with your rig, do others who use it recommend an AMNPS?  If it works as well in the SI as it does in my MES, that's the way to go, IMHO.
