So - would I ever use wood chips in the egg! sounds like I just need to pick up chunks!

do you ever soak in wine! seems like I heard this but wasting alcohol should be golden rule for smokers!

    chips are fine. wood is wood is wood is wood.

    they don't burst into flame in the egg, so no need to soak.

    i use chips, because i can put handfuls where i want. tried chunks before, but if the fire loses contact you end up with a bug chunk of wood sitting away from the fire. with chips, i can spread them up and down in the fire column and the fire always finds them.

    i still use chunks, i just don't swear off chips, either

    If you want the wine flavor get cut up wine barrels. I know Steve Reichland sells them on his site. Also some other company does too, I cannot remember who, search amazon for wood chunks. But I thought about getting some old wine barrels to throw in when I do poultry or fish, or whatever
