put the chips on so I would add them halfway when the coal is burning correct, So just lift up the grate and just drop them on right?

Yea

Definitely don't add the wood when you first light the coals.

Should always be right before you bout to drop the meat on the grill and the coals are already hot.

Just toss the chips on the coals, shut the grill and

After breh and right before you finna add the meat..

The goal is to add the chips when you're about to close the grill to let the food cook and smoke.

Like you don't wanna add chips to the fire when you're still cooking with the lid up if that makes sense...all that wood flavor/smoke would be wasted

I prefer the ease of gas. Plus the temperature is more consistent. You can way better grill marks if you have the right gas grill. Charcoal is better if it's hardwood charcoal. Not a fan of plain Kingsford coals.

Soak the chips in water for 30, then get some super duty aluminum foil and wrap the chips in that. Throw the packet over the coals. That's for slow smoking. 250-300 degrees.

Also, I personally only smoke the first 30-45mins

Anything higher temps, buy wood blocks.

Even kingsford is much bettter than a gas grill flavor wise. You can control the temp better, you can cook indirectly with charcoal.

Gas is nice and convenient but there's certain things you should never use it for. Ribs is one of them

My secret... pressure cook chicken for 5 mins. 12 hr marinade in sesame oil vinegar dressing and soy. Grill/smoke.

gas. i love charcoal but its too time consuming.

Greatness > convenience
