I add wet wood to my charcoal the entire time I am cooking meat. A friend of my said that after a while the smoke does not penetrate and I don't need to burn those chips. What does the F&DB say??

There is such a thing as over-smoking. I usually just add wood for the first 1/4 to 1/3 of total cook time.

Depends on what you are smoking and the length time of the smoke. If im smoking a whole chicken, ill keep the smoke on it the whole time. Boston butt will get about 8 hours of smoke and another 3-4 hours of heat.

bbq smoking websites say at a certain temp the smoke quits going it

I think like 160-170 ish for a butt?

Depending on the meat you are smoking it typically stops penetrating around 4-5 hours. This is my opinion

Your friend is correct. I guess it would depend on the type of meat, but I believe around 140 or so, a brisket will not get any more smoke flavor.
