I'm getting my first box of wood chunks from Paul Goulden for this weekend. Looking forward to first time using wood chunks rather than chips.
Any advice on how many first-sized chunks would be needed for a low/slow cook for pork ribs (so, c.4-5 hours) to avoid over-smoking? Also, is is easy to over-smoke with oak (in which case is it worth starting with cherry or apple)?
Was planning to ask whether to soak the chunks but a few youtube videos provided a convincing case that this is a waste of time.
