Are they best used in a smoker?

Chips will burn up fast and make smoke but give you a shorter sweet spot. On some grills / smokers it may be a pain to add chips intermittently, such as on a kamado like a Joe or Egg, especially with a convector in place.
Pellets are fuel for pellet grills. They're a processed wood product. Pellet grills are fast and easy but don't tend to give as much smoke flavor as a normal smoker does- they burn really cleanly too. You can run a smoker at a real low temp and get some smoke but it's not necessarily going to get you the same amount, and there are other (often surmountable) downsides to a pellet grill.
You can buy a "smoke tube" and use it with pellets to get a bit more smokey flavor.
Some people don't even like that much smokey flavor anyway, so don't obsess until you know.
I think fruitwoods like apple and peach give a mild and sweet taste, cherry is faintly sweet/spicy, and hickory/pecan/Mesquite have that classic BBQ taste. You gotta try them all to see what you like, but I prefer cherry and applewood for chicken and pork.
At the same time a grill using hardwood lump charcoal will give better smoker flavor than briquettes in my opinion.

Thanks for the advice.
