If it's chunks, no soaking is necessary. If it's chips, I'd suggest going to chunks. I think you'll have better success that way. The only time I use chips is when I'm grilling to add just a hint of smoke. I don't soak then either...just add a small handful onto the coals. There are competing thoughts about this, but I think soaked wood smolders instead of burns and can give off flavors.

I assume you meant soak? How long should you soak your chips? In your entry you keep saying that you did not smoke your chips long enough. I assume you meant soak?
