9. For gas grills, preheat one side of your grill.
10. Place pouch of wood chips directly on coals or lava rocks with the holes facing up. If you are using a gas grill, turn down to low at this point.
11. Place items to be smoked on cold side of grill. Depending on the size of your grilling rack, you may need to place items on a piece of aluminum foil.
12. Season with salt and pepper and /or your favorite spice combination.
13. Close the lid on your grill and relax.
14. Depending on the size of your items and the heat of your grill, the cook times may vary. Expect at least 2 to 6 hours of cook time.
15. When the items are done to your liking, they should have a nice internal smoke ring.
16. At this time, you may brush the items with your favorite sauce.
17. Disposing of the wood chip pouch should be done with caution. Since the wood chips may still be smoldering, it would be advisable to submerse the pouch with water.
