Lack of wood chips: Alternatives?
Posted: 03 Dec 2014, 19:47Hi all,
Due to the lack of wood chips up here (but not wood) I wondering if it would work to use coarse grain oak sawdust in a Weber smokebox? Wood chunks would be too big and I don't have the cash to get a heavy gauge wood chipper and there are none to rent in my area.
Would I be correct in thinking that the sawdust would combust too quickly?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, as this Christmas I'll be using a Weber Q2200 gasser instead of my ECB Bullet. to do racks of ribs.
I've never used a gasser before,but am interested in the speed advantage when cooking other stuff.
