tin can for wood chips

[bloaky]

can I use a small tin can and fill with wood chips I use for smoking fish in my Big chief smoker. I would like to see any difference in smoke flavor with real wood chips versus the pucks?

You can (carefully) put a scoop of them right on the puck burner.   When they stop smoking, scrape them off with a spoon or something and put more on.

I've done this with pellets when I was out of pucks.

It's a tight squeeze in there, so don't burn yourself...   (don't ask how I know that)

You can also invert a wide mouth canning jar sealer ring and fill with the wood chips, then slide the ring and ashes off when finished with a long handled anything....saves the flesh. ;D

Thanks fellow smokers

While I have never done what you are proposing to do, it should work and there will be a difference in flavor.  The woods chips will contain pieces of bark, etc that the Bradley pucks don't have.  Bradley pucks are compressed.  Wood chips are not.

The flavor will be different.
