I just bought some pecan wood chunks to go with the charcoal. Bought the wood at academy. Skipped the chips this time, so is there any difference between wood and chips? Obviously takes a little longer to get going, but should also last longer too, right?

for smoking brisket have a little of charcoal on the bottom, however use hickory, or pecan chunks, or the little logs that academy sells in the back with the grills. If you use the little logs, make sure you split them up in half or quarters.

I have a bunch of pecan trees that usually have limbs down around them. I cut up the small limbs into lengths and then soak in a large bucket for a couple of hours before using. Pecan and hickory are my choices with pecan being my favorite. Yes, the larger the pieces, the longer they should last..

go with chunks not chips, if you can help it.
