Soaked Chip Smokers vs Pellet Smokers

Find you a piece of sheet metal that will cover your chip pan. Drill a half dozen to a dozen holes in it. The wood will not catch fire and just smolder/produce smoke.

I have done this with both my electric and gas smoker, however, the loose foil packet worked better in my gasser. Now I place the amznts tube in a mailbox that is piped to my smoker. Works great.
