You really can because it is electric and you can not lay the wet wood chips on the electric elements.

On page 9 of the Grilling Guide it says wood chips can be placed between the cooking grates. No need to pre-soak, chips can be dropped right out of the bag. They say do NOT place wood chips directly under greasy foods as this can increase the risk of flare ups. Suggested hardwood varieties are Alder, Apple, Cherry, Grapevines, Hickory, Mesquite, Oak, Rosemary and Sassafras. I'm guess you wouldn't have asked the question if you had your own copy of the Grilling Guide so hope this helps.

You can not us wood chips because there is know place to put the chips in an electric grill.

If you want a smoke flavor, you can use wood chips or wood chunks. If you only want to cook your meat with the water evaporating and moistening your meat, you don't have to.

1 or 2 using ecolog pieces but I usually one as a base and then add hickory, oak, apple, or mesquite chips (a hand full or 2). Something thick like a 2" London Broil top shoulder will take more.

It is my understanding that wood chips cannot be used with an electric grill.

As with so many things, it depends on what kind of wood you use. It does nothave a large firebox, so requires regular feeding. Yes chips cut off a log workfine.

Just stay with the directions per the amount of finely ground wood chips to use, and learn to bring the heat up to medium or so to start the smoke, but then back the heat down to the desired temp to do your cooking. DO NOT attempt to use the unit on a ceramic cook top; our cracked and it cost $400 to replace it. I use a separate hot plate.

You do not have to use wood chips. We've done it both ways for that reason.

I only use CHUNKS,and also place the chuncks on a Cast iron fry pan and place the fry pan on top of the ring that comes with the smoker. and there are pros and cons on weather to soak your wood, I dont, but that will be your call.

Yes, you can throw some wood chips in the charcoal and keep put the lid on. This would would work best with indirect cooking and given the size of this Smokey Joe it may just not be big enough.

Yes! It has a removable tray on the bottom that would make it easy to clean up the wood chips.

We use the wiod chunks of varying "flavors" that you can get at Cabelas or Bass Pro Shop. The documentation also says if you have dried wood (no high sap content like pine) like orange or pecan available, you can cut it into small chunks and use them.

you do not like the wood chips at all you soak them like you would for a regular smoker and you just put them in there.the unit gets hot enough and it will smoke without letting them.

Wood chips 1 to 2 inches long and to inch thick work best. Do not use wood chunks. Very small wood chips or shavings will burn too quickly and may not produce the desired smoke flavor.

You really would have to use the bisquettes. To use your own, you would have to open the door and place the chips directly onto the hot end of the feeder. The heat loss from opening the door would not be worth it and you really only have a space of maybe 3" by 5" that is heating the wood. And it is flat so you could not pile many chips there. In theory,if only smoking for a short while, you could pile chips up and settle for maybe an hour of smoke. If you keep opening the door, it takes a while to return to 225 so you'd be screwing up the cooking times.

It has two places inside for pellets. Wood chips would not fit unless they were very small.

Their website answers a similar question thus: Q: Can I add wood chips for flavor? A: Absolutely, even though people are blown away by the results of only using Kingsford Original you can add wood chips/smoke blocks to add additional smoke. Q: Do I have to use Kingsford Briquets? A: For the best results and to have all the guess work taken out we recommend Kingsford Original Briquets (blue & white bag). We advise against using Matchlight Briquets reason being that you want the briquets to slowly burn from the top to the bottom. Q: Can I use lump charcoal or other brands of charcoal in the PBC? A: To achieve consistent and outstanding results every time we recommend using Kingsford Original (blue & white bag), lump charcoal will burn much hotter and cook times will vary.

If the wood has to be granulated to work. You might be able to just buy smoking chips from the grocery store soak in water for 1/2 hour to soften and run through a food processor.
