Cooking over chunks of hickory (or whatever)
This may have been ask before, but does anyone fill their chimney starter with hickory chunks, instead of charcoal, light them, and let the chunks burn down & cook over them similar to the way you would cook over charcoal? Or any any other wood chunks such as mesquite, apple etc.?Tags: None

Yes. I regularly start wood chunks in my chimney starter when firing up my Buckaroo chunk wood grill. Works great. I prefer to have a bit of a live fire, though, so once the initial chunks are started I'll dump them out into the grill and then add more chunks that will burn actively through the cook.

When first starting the chimney, the wood chunks will smoke A LOT until the fire gets hot enough to consume the smoke. It works great, but will initially smoke you, your neighbors, and their dog out. I started my chimney over a deep fryer burner just to get past that magic point quickly.
