For an electric smoker, Brinkmann recommends and I concur you soak the chips in water for at least an hour and then roll them in aluminum foil with the ends open. I usually end up with 3 rolls which I place between the elements on the lava rocks.

flavored chips are to be put on lava rock, do not touch electric element with them. I have a grate similar to the one that holds the meat for cooking, that is above and not touching the element. This where I put my flavored wood.

You put wood chips in between element and try not to touch element on metal plate or lava rocks what you may have

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

These are made for wood and they are excellent for that, but I have used them to make holes on metal studs as well (thin metal) it takes some pressure though. I would, however, recommend you get metal specific drill bits which are more proper for drilling in metal since that is what you seem to be looking for.

RM is correct. However these are clearly designed for wood or corrugated wood products. I suspect if you use these for metallic drilling they will quickly dull. Best bet is to buy bits designed for metal only.

I slide it over the heating elements, fits there perfectly so that's where I put it.. keeps elements cleaner.. there are edges on the plate itself that allow this to happen..

Soak wood chips in water and put in smoker. You can use hickory, pecan, etc.

I tired to cut a hole in a metal cover plate and it didn't cut through also ruined my hole saw but anything wood was fine!

It is designed to use coarse sawdust, not wood chips. The holes are quite small...only enough to allow airflow to keep the sawdust smouldering.

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

Hi, Angela. Yes, I've drilled into dense wood and hard plastic. The bits are straight and sharp. Let the bit do the work; simply apply light pressure and steadily turn between your thumb and finger. You might want to start with a tiny pilot hole and follow with a larger bit, to prevent any chipping. Another trick: place a small strip of masking tape on both sides of the area to be drilled, first. This , also, often ensures a smooth bore. Good luck! PS. A Dremel Tool is great for drilling small holes, too.

I don't know if it will work on metal. On wood works but you have to let it work once applied and you minght need to apply several times

None. But I do make sure and never use metal on it. This a great skillet.I have a smooth top electric range where I set this to cook in the house even though we bought it for our motor home. My bacon never came out so good! Love it.

Wood chips 1 to 2½ inches long and ¼ to ½ 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.

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

Hi, Shawn, No, you don't have to use the wood chips in the Masterbuilt...I've cooked many turkeys, ducks and chickens in mine without smoking them, and they come out moist and delicious! Smoking is totally optional. Good cooking! Tony

just put wood chips directly on the supplied square steel plate and place that directly on the heating element; cook on high with steak on grill above drip pan; use meat thermometer and do not overcook larger pieces of meat work better

You have to use the bisquettes, because the burner of the smoke generator is an element that has around 2" x 2". You cannot use wood,chips or saw dust.Hope this answers will help you make your decision.
