Oak wood chips are the most widely used chips in the UK for smoking food. The aroma is is wonderful with sausages, or blended with cherry for smoking turkey. The popular wood chips are enormously versatile though, and produce a balanced smoky flavour which is also great with all red meat, heavy game and pork.
To cook low 'n' slow, American-BBQ style, arrange coals in the basket of your smoker in a horseshoe shape. Sprinkle over the wood chips, and then pour hot coals - using a chimney starter is easiest - into the centre of the horseshoe (see photo). Sprinkle a small handful of chips onto the hot coals. The coals will burn slowly outwards, keeping the BBQ lit for hours, with the chips burning evenly as they go.
