                        Soaking chunks is a waste of time... Airflow is key. Here is a good and informative video I saw on the virtual Weber bullet...

                          I used to soak my wood, this site convinced me it's a bad idea.

                              I still soak my wood, but not nearly as often as I used to.

                              However I never soak my smoking chips, chunks, or pellets.

                                Best way to slow down combustion of chips is to wrap loosely in foil and poke a few holes in the foil to let the smoke out.
                                This really reduces oxygen available for combustion, and gives you thin blue smoke.

                                But never ever soak them, it leads to thick white smoke and all the issues rich mentioned.
