Can you put wood chips in this cooker?

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

Do you mean to flavor the meat? probably possible. I've placed fresh rosemary on the inside for that purpose. On the outside, instead of using charcoal briquettes? Probably, but you'll have to keep replacing it and possibly cook longer in order to meat on the inside fully cooked.

No, I use charcoal and then add hardwood "chunks" (not chips) that I purchase from a Walmart and they really add to the flavor of the meat I smoke in my Dyna-Glo. Just be sure and soak them in water for a couple of hours before you get started. That way they will smolder rather than burn up. You can get hickory, mesquite, cherry, apple, and other hardwood chunks for different flavors.

You can, but at some point you would have to open the smoker and remove both the grates and the drip pan to add additional smoking chips to the platform that sits on the heating element and then put everything back. You might think that you could just pile on a lot of chips on the platform if you want to smoke longer, but the advice I read (mostly on the Amazon reviews but also at the Old Smokey site, as I recall) says that you don't want to overfill the chips or you'll get a funny taste.

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 could if you cut it into smaller chunks. I keep a small jar of coconut oil inside if mine for frying. It works well. You could use a lightweight, small-diameter pan with this, but it pretty much comes with one (the "lid"). I love this cookset. Also, if you replace the plastic feet with bolts it can be used with wood. Fuel as well. This essentially makes it I tri-fuel system.

No. Not for wood chips. Wood chips should go in a metal box close to or on top of the heating element. I use this for smoking various vegetables (try roast/smoking fresh asparagus rubbed with a little olive oil and hint garlic . . . better than what I remember about sex.) and a few other things where you want to smoke things that might fall through a normal grate. NOT good for smoking fish...the fish sticks and is nearly impossible to clean. I threw mine on an ant hill for a couple of days and let the bugs clean it. Could have put it in a fire and burned it off, but didn't want to chance warping it. Works good for strip jerky but not for ground jerky. No. Not for wood chips.

Yes put the moist wood chips in a foil pan on the bottom of grill. I believe the directions are in the instruction book that comes with the grill. My favorite is apple wood

I don't think wood would be effective to produce a hot enough flame for cooking. these little stoves are designed to use cans of Sterno heat or fuel cubes.

I totally agree with Benasha's answer!For wood chips only, to be placed in a grill.

Not that I know of. Don't let the corny motif fool you, this cooker is a nice piece of engineering.

Yes, absolutely. Go to the Sistema website. They have a bunch of recipes to try and these will give you plenty of ideas for things you can cook in this great little cooker.

I have put wood chips in soaked in water, wrapped in foil. I place them at the far back center of the grill. It actually works pretty good.

I do nt see why not. It even comes with a little wood chip box for the grill. Do not hold me liable, but i would think it would be fine. &#128516; The chips are not real big either..

If using in the oven, I would preheat the oven to your target temperature, say 250.Initially I would put the wood chips inside a cast iron skillet on top of the stove at medium high heat.Once they start smoking, THEN transfer them to the smoker that is inside the oven and which is on the bottom most rack.
