I'm curious as to,which you guys prefer; chunks or chips for smoking.

Also wet or dry?

It depends what you're cooking

Depends. For example, I use chunks to smoke ribs, then add chips after saucing for fresh burst of smoke.

I like chunks of potato with roasts and chips of potatoes to snack on. Thanks for asking. I hope this helps.

I haven’t found a use for chips. Dry chunks.

Chips and chunks......and I'll dunk them in some water right before I throw them on just so I'm not in a smoke cloud as I set things up. Buys me about a minute.

Dry chunks. Typically have pecan, cherry, and apple on hand. Occasionally oak when I visit Texas.
