Sometimes I’ll do this when grilling Tri Tip. The only problem is it takes 2 chimneys full of chunks and a long time to burn down to get rid of the rancid smoke.

I was not smoking wood. Lol it was a brisket that I was cooking.

Now you can keep adding chunk s oak to your coals….

I am curious to know if you buy charcoal after learning this?

Yes, most because of the cost. Bag of lump can cost less than a bag of wood chunks where I live. But when I have wood chunks I use those to start my smokers.

So did you ever try grilling or smoking with the wood chunks? If so, how did it turn out?

I just used them to start my fire. I was smoking a brisket and added logs after that. But I do now add some to the bottom of my fire stater for the bottom charcoal and it works great.

I do this quite often, its a good way to use the leftover chunks that i have after sizing my splits for my smoker. I pile a bunch of chunks in my weber and start it with a full chimney of prelit chunks then let it burn down to the point where im able to start cooking.
