I Have A Side Fire Box. I Just Got It. Whenever I Put A Wood chuck In, It Smokes For A While, Then Starts On Fire. How Do I stop It From Just burning
And just allowing a big ole chunk of wood to smolder may make too thick of smoke taste or build up inside your cook chamber. Chips and chunks aren't as bad.
First there is nothing wrong with the wood burning in your SFB, you will still get smoke flavor. It also has the added benefit of adding a bit of heat as well. You do not need to see visible smoke of any color to get smoke flavor to the meat.
