Any thoughts on burning wood chips if you were to put them in some sort of meshed basket so air could get at the chip as opposed to just smoldering on coals ?

I did some quick searches and found most were auger driven .I'm just looking for low tec .
Most people I've talked to about chips feel that they will smother the fire , I've had my OWB going now for a couple months and I have been burning alot of bark left over in my wood hauling trailer and a huge pile from the splitting process , I just try to throw it on top after loading with regular wood or pallets and it burns fine , no sense wasting it !! Not sure if mean burning just chips , any kind of mesh is going to melt right off the bat as soon as you throw it in.

There is a reason why efficient chip burning systems are auger fed. A pre dryer is pretty common in most applications as well.

in the spring summer and early fall if I have any available I burn them in my owb. need a good bed of coals. I have an empyre owb that has air tubes on the inside that literally injects air over the coals . yes they do burn but not good enough in the dead of the winter. Hope this answers your question
