Soaking yer Chips
« on: January 10, 2013, 05:29:16 AM »
To soak or not to soak chips...that is the question.  What do most of you Smokeaholic's do and why?
If you love something you will set it free, if it don't come home, hunt it down and kill it.

I soak and put them directly on coals, but I am also using a weber instead of a smoker.  One time that I used chunks, I didn't soak those.

Somewhat the same, I soak when using indirect heat over coals (Not an offset). I do not soak when using the offset smoker.

No soaking here as I use a chip pan.  Like KC said, I don't care for the steam that it creates.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

once you pull your meat out and see that its covered in nasty wet stuff (someones gonna have fun with that sentence) and watery goo from the smoker is dripping on it too, you wont care for it. like they said on charcoal sure the heat kills the moisture, in a smoker i wouldnt ever, im trying to DEHYDRATE and cure the meat not moisten it

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

I soak, Big Chief smoker with a pan, but I do it because it says to... never really considered not soaking.  Now I gotta try that.  Oh wait, that means I need something to smoke.  S'cuse me, I gotta go check the fridge/freezer/backyard.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
