More smoke from electric smoker (making smaller wood chips)

[mtnboomr]

I always soak my wood chips in water before I put them in the smoker.

Dry chips won't smoke much because they burn too hot, which doesn't allow them to create smoke.

Wet chips take a little longer to start burning, but burn slower, which causes smoke because of the inefficient burn rate.

I soak mine too, but wrap them in tin foil with holes poked in it. Toss it right on the charcoal. Smokes a good ribeye.

I put mine in a small cast iron skillet I have. Set it on top of the fire. Smokes real good.
