What else besides plain old charcoal do you use for barbecuing? Can you use a chimney with wood chips?

 

 

Chips are for adding smoke. They burn too quickly for cooking with. If you want to use wood, you need splits or at least chunks but it can get expensive pretty quickly.

Wood also burns hotter than charcoal which is important to keep in mind for temperature control. I like wood for grilling more than smoking, but I don't have a good smoking rig set up for wood. Honestly the pro rigs burn the wood mostly into small embers which is basically like making their own charcoal. 

Lump charcoal is the best IMO, but I use briquettes because they're cheaper and have uniform size.

Briquettes - I don't have a gas grill - this should be ok?

Don't use anything that's Match Light or instant light. They're basically just briquettes soaked in lighter fluid.

Simply a comment that #liftingnoodles really doesn't need to be a thing, yet it is.

I was tempted to buy this crazy expensive honey just to see what it tastes like. Apparently this is the golf standard of honey. Oy, Freudian slip  Gold standard of honey.
