I have a large BBQ and also a large smoker. For both of them I bought at the local BBQ supply store [specialty shop that only sells BBQ's , parts, and all the frick and frack you would possibly want or use with BBQ's] a nice little metal "wood smoke box". It is a box with a lid that has holes to let out wood smoke but not enough to support fire so the wood "cooks" to ash while it sends out flavors.
Instructions say to soak the wood chips in water overnight before using, which I do, to great success. You might want to look into one of them. Or two. Because of the size of my smoker, I'm wanting more "flavor smoke" so likely will add another to drop in the firebox after the first one exhausts it's stuff.
