Pictures to follow in about 20 min.

I don't see any thing in your marinade that will burn, so your good to go. The thick commercial type stuff will burn and be nasty if put on too early. Hmmm cinnamon, new for me on meat, your gonna have to post a review.

I only use soaked/wet chips. The smolder and produce more smoke that way. Also, last longer getting a bit more value out of them.
