Well.... that's a whole other discussion. Many people have many different views on soaking.

Soaking chips, wood, etc does not produce more smoke IME. It does produce steam though. However, I am by no means a pitmaster.

If you want more smoke flavor, I would use chunks or since you have an offset use 8-10" sticks. If you need some links to get chunks/wood let me know.
