I am getting ready to put on a but soon  and all I have are apple chips will this work?

Probably too late, but if It burns, it makes good smoke it will work.
Just use a handful as equivilant for a chunk, and spread throughout the lump so there is always something smoking.

I like hickory when smoking pork. Haven't used my egg yet but have a good supply of chunks of hickory when its ready.

either, but prefer chunks on big pieces of meat

stike

yes.  chips or chunks.  both work fine.

I use both pecan chips and chunks. I build the fire with chunks scattered throughout the lump, and add a fistful of chips to the top before I add the cold butt. Really adds a beautiful smoke ring.

Boston Butt on the Medium BGE. Indirect cooking with Cran-Apple juice and red onions in the drip pan. After four hours really looking good.
