To Soak or Not to Soak?
Generally speaking, I don't use briquettes because I'm uncomfortable with the abundance of synthetic chemicals that are added to them. But if you are interested in doing barbecue or other types of smoking over charcoal, briquettes are definitely the easier and safer way to go due to the fact that they burn at a consistent temperature for a longer period of time. When I do use briquettes, I like to use Kingsford.
Wood chips are small pieces of seasoned hardwood. Wood chips can be used to add smoky flavor on a kettle grill, electric gill , in your barrel smoker, or in an eclectic smoker. When I'm using my barrel smoker or kettle grill, I start with a pile of hot charcoal and place a layer of wood chips over the top. The charcoal slowly burns the wood chips, producing a nice clean smoke.When it comes to using wood chips, there's a great debate about whether or not to soak them in water first.
People tend to have strong opinions about what kind of wood they like to smoke with, as well as which cuts and types of meat go best with which kinds of smoke. I am not one of those people. I have my own preferences , but that’s what they are—personal preferences, not hard and fast rules. That being said, each kind of hardwood has its own characteristics that are worth noting. With that in mind, I encourage you to experiment and see what works best for you.
