I have worked with charcoal and want to try wood to see if the taste
is any better. I am still researching the woods available but I know
there are chips to be had and I could use them if no one has firewood
that would serve the purpose.

Consider using what's called preburn. It can be done in a cylinder like a charcoal cylinder, but you can also stack hardwood logs and light them in just a firepit. Keep the fire going and add the glowing, almost smokless, embers beneath your meat. It'll impart a very good flavor and the smoke won't be overpowering. It's also easier to maintain a more constant hood temp. this way.
