Any of you guys ever cook with just smoking wood and skip the lump? Just curious as to the result.

That question comes up a lot from Newbe's, myself included. But the Egg isn't designed or meant to be used that way. If it worked, everybody would be doing it. I seriously doubt that any are.
But if you feel like trying it, be sure to take pictures and share them with us. Oh, and check your warranty. It might not be covered doing it that way.

There has has been many post on this. Do a search for "wood instead of lump". From what I remember it isn't recommended. Using just wood is more for the larger stick burning smokers like @SGH has. To much wood and can over power the meat.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.

I have a friend with an xl that uses 2 to 3 logs of kiawe/mesquite wood. He said temp and burn are just the same as using lump charcoal.Ewa Beach, Hawaii
