You want chunks not chips really fella, chips won't last 5 minutes. Quite a few places online you can buy chunks from, I have bought my last couple of lots from jacqui1treetops on ebay, you can get mixed bags and I find the chunks are an ideal size.

I got chunks off eBay, cherry🍒  apple🍎 pear 🍐, as well as whiskey 🥃 from barrels. To be honest I haven’t  been able to taste the difference.

Smoked for 2 1/2 hrs, then wrapped it in foil for another 1 1/2hr.

Done a half leg of lamb smoked with apple wood.

Done a smoked lamb shoulder over cherry wood, 3 1/2 hours then wrapped it in foil for 2 hours, then rested it for an hour. When I wrapped it, I put a smokey bbq with apricot glaze on it. I have to say it was the best thing I’ve done on my kamado so far. I’m going to try beef ribs next.

Had another go at brisket, use a water tray underneath ( not sure if this was good idea) the bark never got really hard. Stalled at 158 after about 4 hrs, wrapped in foil with some coke, took it off at 205 about 1 hr in the foil. Had a good smoke ring, didn’t pass the flop test. What am I doing wrong?

Lamb ribs, 4 hours in, have put a smokey bbq & apricot glaze on, leaving it for another hour.

Where did you buy the brisket from? I'm keen to give one a go, but don't want to break the bank when there's every chance I'll ruin it....

I got it in Asda, it was a rolled brisket, I just cut the strings off and unrolled it. It was about £10. Had it on for 4 hrs and then wrapped it for 1 hour. My thermometer packed up, so was flying blind and going by the fork test.

I’ve just thrown lamb ribs onto my kamado for tonight.

First go at brisket, 5 hours, a little tough, but the taste was out of this world.

Mine arrived on Tuesday, so while curing it, I decided to bake some soda bread, found it hard to control the temperature as the baking time was a little over 1/2 hr.

Finally got an email this morning saying it's been dispatched.  No tracking update as yet.

 

Same for me, this moring.

I ordered mine last Weds AM. Heard nothing yet on delivery, I'm in SE London / Kent.
