A water bottle on hand is a great way to control flareups and add moisture to your food while cooking.

The Wet Approach

The Dry Approach

The Wet Approach

For the moist and flavorful smoke, soak wood chips in water for at least 30 min. Drain chips using a foil pouch with holes or smoking tray. Place directly over the hottest area of your cooker. Have extras on hand for LONGER cook times.

The Dry Approach

For a steady slow released smoke, try the dry chip method of placing chips loosely around the edge of the fire or near your heat souce. The heat will allow the chips to slowly smolder. For more intense smoke place chips directly onto heat source and add chips as needed.
