Vaughn Stafford Gray from Lifehacker suggests using maple, apple, or pecan wood chips and filling a disposable pan halfway with pre-soaked wood chips that will give you an “Instagram-worthy deep-brown color” and will “impart a subtle sweetness and delicate smokiness.” Next, soak your chips in water for 30 minutes, spread them evenly on a sheet pan, and add a quarter cup of the soaking liquid to the pan.
