Stupid question about smoking ribs..

I could not find big chunks of wood so I had to use wood chips. Should I keep adding chips to keep the smoke going during the whole 4-5 hours of cooking? The chips have stopped producing smoke after about an hour.

    Mark,
    I wouldn't worry about keeping the smoke going the entire duration. After about an 30-60 minutes you are going to impart as much smoke flavor as you are going to get IMHO. GOod luck!

    Pharmeggist,
    Thx, that's what I needed to know. Actually when I opened the lid to mist, I saw chips still in there that hadn't burned yet.

    Mark,
    I agree with pharmeggist - I have totally over-smoked my food and it was gross. I usually toss one big chunk of guava in with mine and leave it at that for 6 hours or so. (shhh don't tell car wash mike, I don't want him to know my "secret") :)
