Umm, I use electric and gas smokers. I also drive an internal
combustion engine car, and from time to time, fly in an airplane (that's
those really big iron birds you've been seeing above your head).
To be honest, up here in Wisconsin, all my neighbors think I'm nuts (and
are probably right) because I'll smoke/bar-b-q in the middle of winter
at -15 below zero!!

Wood chips? What are you blabbering about? What's with the wood chips?
A
real smoker requires logs, not chips. Anyways chips are way too
expensive
and you simply can't control the temperature for very long. I can load
my
smoker with logs, adjust the intake and exhaust and keep 200-210 for an
hour
unattended. By the way, I have reoriented my temp gauge so that 205
degrees
is straight up; I can thus glance at the smoker from anywhere in the
yard or
from the house and as long as that needle is pointing straight up, I'm
cooking. With wood.
Every 45 minutes to 1 hour, I add another log, rearrange the firebox a
little and I'm good to go for another hour or so.

Smoke, like salt or spice is an easily controlled, yet often overdone
taste additive. I myself use a myriad of different woods for smoke
flavor. It's great these days - you can get wood chips of Apple, Sugar
Maple, Oak, Pecan, Hickory, Alder, I've even seen gift packs now that
have several different containers of types of wood chips!
