OK, I use a charcoal grill for my grilling/smoking. I have always had my smoking wood, usually chunks of hickory in a tub of water right next to my grill. When I get the charcoal going, I reach in and grab a piece of the hickory and put it in the middle of the charcoal bed. This way always provides a lot of smoke as the wood is saturated and doesnt ignite.
I have tried the woods shavings sprinkled around the edge of the charcoal and not had much luck with that. Have also tried the wood pellets in tin foil pouch and get some good smoke for a very short period of time.
How do the rest of you guys do your smoking wood?? I had someone tell me that doing the soaked wood, gives off a bitter/blue colored smoke.
