Will this work with both wood chips and chunks?

Yes, I've used both chips and chunks-works fine. Chunks are better for longer smoking time. I also put a lump or two of regular charcoal in there (it is supposed to help create the smoke ring on the meat). Be conservative with the wood chips/chunks-(it doesn't take as much as you think).

yes i use both. the chunks just need be small enough to close wood box lid.

I think this cutter may work but may wobble at first. Be prepared to plug the large hole left by the cutter. You will likely have random holes due to random screws. Maybe buy a larger plug cutter and cut plugs out of the same decking (scrap). Suggest using a large, corded drill with a side handle. The bit may tend to grab. I like your idea; may try it myself. Good luck.

Yes, but I've found it does'nt have a great deat of torque. Drilling in wood will sometimes stop the drill.

It will do both but mostly for thinning. I agree with others you need to be careful because it can take out a chunk.

I don't see why not. I had a lot of piles of branches and twigs from all different types of trees and as long as 8 feet and up to 1" in diameter piled up at the back of my lot and when I bought this chipper, I spent about an hour and chipped everything up without any problems.

I have used chunks of different sizes with good results. Neither chips or chunks will burn to ashes so what remains can be used to add smoke when grilling with charcoal briquets. You will have to use more chunks than chips though to get the same effect, because food apparently absorbs more smoke flavor early on before cooking temperature gets high and chips will initially outgas faster during that stage.

I would say yes. I have cut the 2-ply chip board with it and that was what I bought it for and it has done well.

I find it works best using chips in combination with some small chunks. The smoke seems to last longer that way.

I used it on a basement block Wall. I didn't chip at all . Applied it with plastic trowel. Worke fine

You can use the chips, however, you may want to grind them down to almost saw dust which works perfectly with this smoker. Saw dust might be a little harsh but you don't want them to be chunky!

Donna, this kit will be able to take care of both chips....BUT you will need to apply the epoxy in about a minute or less as it will QUICKLY hardened!

I bought this chipper for my 88 year old mother-in-law and she had it 3 days before she sold it to someone else cuz it would not do the job she needed it to do. To be honest I think it would have problems even with twigs. Sorry...:(

Chunks at the beginning and chips if the chunk burns out before the smoke phase is done. If choosing only one, then definitely chunks. I should add that I use a cast iron skillet as my wood tray.

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

This chipper works well for small branches, but if you are going to put cardboard through it you would have to flatten and divide the box to fit, and feed each piece one by one. It will shred them, but the by-hand prep work might take a while.

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.

Works well with bananas but you can't cut a whole banana at once. Use small chunks and it works fine.
