I make sticks from firewood, just trim them down with an axe. I prefer to de-bark them. Or if you have a bow saw cut some 2 inch thick rounds from a log and split them into wedges. As others have said you only need a few chucks per hour during the first 2-3 hours of cooking. I learned that the hard way...

Good luck and have fun experimenting
