What type of stores typically carry smoke chips (apple, etc)? I can't
imagine these would be carried by stores like walmart etc.


Ah, Wal-Mart has them, but they are seasonal so in the north you probably
won't see them now. Home Depot does too. Most any place that has grill
will have chips and chunks. If you own a power saw, you just cut up some
hardwood tree branches or a couple of firewood logs you stole from the
neighbor's wood pile.
