The Wet Chip Approach: For that moist and flavorful smoke, soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Drain chips, and using a foil pouch with holes or smoker tray, place directly over the hottest area of your cooker. Have extras on hand for longer cook times. The Dry Chip Approach: For a steady slow release smoke, try the dry chip method of placing chips loosely around the edge of your fire or near your heat source. The heat will alow the chips to slowly smolder. For a more intense smoke, place chips directly onto heat source and add chips as needed. Cooking Tips: Experiment soaking your chips with a beer, wine or fruit juice instead of water to give your flavors more complexity. Don't open your cooker! The flavor is in the smoke so you want to keep as much smoke as possible sealed in to help flavor your food. A water bottle on hand is a great way to control flareups and add moisture to your food while cooking.
