When it comes to wood chips...ALWAYS soak em, then put in a foil pouch and
punch a couple of holes in the foil and just lay them on the coals to the
side.  Make 2 or 3 pouches of wet chips so you can add more as you need em.
Don't just throw them on the fire or you don't get the smoke action.  I
don't like mesquite(cuz it's everywhere here and sometimes is
overpowering[except when I cook cabrito]goat to all you non-Texans. but
cherry and hickory, or even pecan, work well cooking birds.
P.S. I may not be a mechanic, but I can russle up the grub. :-)
