Nice, I've only used chunks/chips for flavour. use Coals for heat. I think in the WSM it's the preferred method But if I had a decent supply of wood I'd give it a bash. 

What kind of wood is it? Is it like an oak or other hardwood?

Apologies for the delay in responding... Just seen this now. 

Its from South Africa and called "Sekelbos" https://www.braaiwooduk.com/product/sekelbos-braai-wood/

Got it from here: https://www.braaiwooduk.com/

Welcome John  New user to the forum and also spoking! Hope you find everyhtingyou need here! 

So, this arrived today  100KG of South African Wood.. Just wondered how many of you use wood for BBQ`s ect rather than charcoal! I have not found a good hard wood that is easily available in the UK that results in good coals for a BBQ. 

Ill be doing a "Potjie" on the fire tonight as the temperature has dropped, but will be outside witha beer next to a fire  Bliss!!

We have several Tailgate/BBQ weekends organised, but due to this Human Melware problem, I think we are going to have to cancel at least 50% ☹️
 

We had East Anglia beginning of May, but that might of been a bit far to travel.

Beginning of June at Tamworth which is closer.

End of July, which will be the most realistic event on, is at Holme Pierrepoint, Nottingham.

 

You can bet that Ill be joining   Hopefully one will materilise soon! Will be there!
