Does the amount of wood used change based on size of wsm? For a rib cook on a 14.5 inch how much wood chunks would you use?
 
I use less in my 14.5 but my wife doesn't like a strong smoke flavor. I use one fist size chunk of cherry with ribs and it keeps her happy.
 
I use at least two or three chunks (usually hickory), and I place them on the bare grate before adding coals.

The 18.5" WSM gets at least four to five chunks in the same arrangement.
 
Hi All Do you really taste the difference between cherry apple hickory, wood? I haven't so far.:)

Thanks Dan
 
A lot of the bbq places around here use apple or cherry for ribs. I just don’t like apple or cherry. I use all hickory and I seem to like it more. I used all cherry one time and didn’t like it as much. I use hickory and spritz once or twice with half apple cider vinegar and apple juice.
