re: When do you add your wood chips/chunks for a low and slow smoke?

Thank you both for the feedback. I'll work a couple chunks into the lump and add the rest on top of the coals.
One follow up:
Do you leave the lid open during this time, or do you close it so it can establish its oxygen flow from the vents?

1) Get my charcoals to a clean burn. Usually "stir" them 2X. Usually takes 15-20 min.

i do 1 chunk at a time, don't need a lot of smoke.
if you can smell it, you're smoking with it

Lid is wide open.
One my lessons learned when using lump charcoal was that it has a creosote layer on it. This needs to burn off. It usually shows as a blueish color in the smoke and will impart a undesired flavor. The coals are burning clean when evidenced by "clear" smoke, i.e., if you were to close the lid and open the top vent, you can 'see the heat' but very little smoke.
Again, hope this helps. I conside myself more of a novice than an expert so I'm always trying to learn better ways.
