Trust me! It wasn't the beer!!!

All kidding aside. I've found that even soaking chips doesn't make much of a difference. It only takes a few minutes for the water to steam off, then the chips burn. I believe it's better to use less chips but space them out so that only a few smoke at a time while the charcoal is burning.

If I'm using chips (it's happening really rarely), I put them in aluminium wrap on the cooking grate above the charcoal.

Or simply in a smoker box also above the charcoal

Chunks over chips any day.  Don't soak.  They key is to starve the fire for air so the wood smoulders and doesn't burn.  I go to a local cherry farm, and they let me take as much cherry wood trimmings as I want for free.  I cut it up and put it in pails in the garage so I have an endless supply of nice seasoned dry chunks.

There is no need to smoke either chunks or chips.

"Auto Correct".  Haven't heard of that beer.  Is it an IPA or a new Canadian Craft Beer?
