Would you use Smoking Chips with this product?...just to add flavor, or it is not necessary....

yes you can and you can use chunks they last longer but go low and slow if you are smoking hope this helps

I would be cautious with the amount you use because you don't want it overpowering, but I've used hickory chips with good results......happy smoking

These may impart a very light smoky note to your food, but if you want low and slow smoked food then you will still want to add wood for smoke (chips or chunks)

Heck yes!!!!! It will smoke quite a bit during start up once coals are white add the Wood...I recommend a Charcoal Chimney to start coals about 14 bucks last for years.

The charcoal side works as a smoker. Just add the what ever flavor "smoker" chips you like and you can smoke any kind of meat.

I wouldn't.Better to add flavored syrups to the finished product.Also avoid overly oily beans as they don't flow neatly through the mechanism.

This is small and for wood chips and smoker type stuff.....Its for flavor rather than the food.

Soak wood chips in water and put in smoker. You can use hickory, pecan, etc.

You could, but shouldn't. I tried it once, made a big mess. A smoker needs to be seasoned, you rub down the inside with canola oil and get it hot, and a charcoal fire in the cooking area would make the food taste weird when you smoke again. This is a great smoker for the money, I love it

That's intended purpose. It keeps the chips above the heat source rather than placing the wood on the coils or charcoal. The chips last longer, giving off less of a burst of smoke. But I have also used it in place of the grill to smoke shrimp, scallops, and veggies that would not work so well on the grill.

Yes a bit. I purchased this product to make dashi. It's not a product I eat but to only flavor liquids and then discard.

Oh No! You have to use the small powdered chips that they sell. The one you buy from you local store are MUCH too big for the stovetop smoker.

You can use wood or charcoal. I mainly use Kingsford but have use wood chips once in awhile to add flavor

I find it works best using chips in combination with some small chunks. The smoke seems to last longer that way.

probably not but worth trying. I do use hickory wood chips. got 2 of them, one for home and one for the lake plus neighbor at lake has one.love it.

I didn't use any fire rope on mine. Sure, I had some smoke leakage around the doors, but it's not enough for me to worry over. I also think you only need to use wood chips for the first 2-3 hours to get the flavor. If you pour on the chips for 6-8 hours, I think it gets too smoky. Once you have the initial burn on the chips, the amount of smoke produced by the embers is minimal.

None. This is a smoker box for wood chips, not an actual smoker. You would us this with a grill.

You will need to buy the charcoal and Flavor tobacco. All hardware is included, just not what you need to make it smoke.

I also have a charcoal smoker and have used charcoal and wood chunks for smoking. I have not used wood to provide the heat for the smoker however I would imagine you could experiment trying a combination of wood and charcoal or just wood.

No, I use charcoal and then add hardwood "chunks" (not chips) that I purchase from a Walmart and they really add to the flavor of the meat I smoke in my Dyna-Glo. Just be sure and soak them in water for a couple of hours before you get started. That way they will smolder rather than burn up. You can get hickory, mesquite, cherry, apple, and other hardwood chunks for different flavors.
