I have a couple of bags of Hickory Chunks and would like to use it as my prime fuel source for a 6 lb pork butt. I am used to using it w/ charcoal and hickory, but I have not used the wood only. Is there anything I need to do differently or suggestions.
Thanks
 
My suggestion would be not to. The WSM is not designed to burn wood, there simply is not enough airflow. To use wood alone you'd need to burn it to coals first, preferably before loading it into the cooker. Seems like a waste of wood to me.
 
All you really need is a few wood chunks and a bowl of charcoal and you shoud be set. I just threw on 2 6lb butts and am planning on having this done in about 5-6 hours. Temp is a steady 350-360.
