Wood

[ridgehunter]

Hello everyone, just got a question about wood , I use chunk wood in my BIG Green Egg should I soak it in water first and just put it in dry. Thx in advance for your response.

I believe most folks simply put in in dry.

I would add dry wood to your smoker. soaking wood just adds steam to the mix and can result in creosote

Happy Smoking,

That's what I've been doing but I've seen a few you tube videos were they soaked them.

You know what they say; don't believe everything you see on the internet....especially u-tube!

Soaking the wood is a bad idea!

But some people continue to do it.

I don't have any experience with the big green egg smoker but I don't soak anything.
