Stampede Smoke tube

[Dan99]

Happy New Years all Question has anyone used wood chips instead of pellets in your smoke tubes. I have a 12" tube and still can use some smoke flavor, in my meats.
Thanks Dan

@Dan99 you sure can, just be sure to soak the wood chips in water for a few hours before hand.

I’ve done a hybrid a few times. Put in a layer of pellets, add some chips, another layer of pellets, more chips etc... It worked well.

How do you get the wood chips started in the smoke tube if they are soaking wet? I can't see this working as it can be a challenge to keep them going when dry
The hybrid method of pellets mixed with DRY wood chips provides the strongest wood smoke.

I agree, I wouldn't soak the chips. If going to try chips, I think I would do a mix of pellets/chips to see how that goes. I usually put tube left front by probe outlet hole and leave that open for fresh air.
