I finally spoke up when my buddy said you need to soak wood chips for hours
I mean, idk, maybe it's just me but that's a total myth that actually makes your smoke worse. I saw a test where they measured the temp and wet chips just steam for ages before they ever start to smoke right. Has anyone else tried smoking with dry chips and noticed a cleaner flavor?

Wait, so what's the actual science behind the steam vs smoke thing?

Never put water in a hot smoker, just let it burn off and you'll get cleaner steam.

Wow, that's like the cooking myth about searing meat to "lock in juices.
