Chunks or Chips?

For a long slow cook, brisket or butts, do you guys use wood shavings or prefer hardwood chunks? I would think that chunks would last longer and therefore produce more smoke. Am I right or wrong?

Chunks Dry - 2 -3 each

For my money, your thinking is correct. (not that my money will get you much)

The egg burns so well that you could use sawdust and be ok. But I do use the big chunks cause they're easier to deal with.

I like the extra smoke flavor I get from the chunks. The only exception I've found to that rule so far is mesquite as it is easy to over power the food with that wood.
