To soak or not to soak

SmokeyBones · October 2009

Hey all,

Just wondering....is there a difference in food taste if you soak your wood chip/chunks or just toss them in dry.

I'm planning to do a butt tonight and the thought hit me. Any thoughts?

Chunks Dry..

All wet does is produce steam

Thanks for the tip...good point. Do you soak chips or toss them in dry also?

Don't do chips. Just chunks. 2 or three are all you need.

I vote no soak.

I don't think there is any use to add addtl moisture to the system which is a very controlled burn... I mix a handful of chips throughout the lump.

Doesn't hurt to soak....I do it for the fun of it.

Chunks..NO Chips...yes.Just my humble opinion.
