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

The big box stores like Home Depot and Lowes. Farm supply stores like
D&B Supply. Rite-Aid drugstores (they useta, anyway). Sporting goods
stores with a hefty inventory of camping and hunting gear.

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.

Just make sure the wood has dried/seasoned. Never use green
wood as the byproducts will make the food inedible.

I've never had that problem and I've taken branches from apple tree to saw
to smoker inside of 30 minutes. Just don't overdo the smoke and have it
smolder to slow.

Most places that sell grills and grill accessories will have them, and
many grocery stores that sell charcoal will carry some as well. But
these places often have only hickory and/or mesquite. Apple, cherry,
maple, pecan, etc. are rarely found (at least in my area) except at the
dedicated grill places like Barbeques Galore.

Amen! Let's dispell this myth of using green wood. Danny Gaulden does it,
I used to do it (no good wood source here in Florida) and you do it too, Ed.

It'll nasty up yer groceries if you let it smolder and steam, but if you're
a good enough fireman to make it burn, carry on.
