Hank, morning and welcome to the forum..... Most folks use briquettes or a similar product to provide the heat for their smokers... Chunks are added for the smoke flavor.... More chunks = more smoke.... more smoke is not always the best thing as it can overpower the flavor of the meat... It is a personal preference thing and can be tinkered with... different types of wood provide different flavor profiles from very mild to very strong.... Dave
