Camerons All Natural Extra Fine BBQ Wood Chips, 4 Pack of Pints- Apple, Oak, Hickory, Mesquite- Kiln Dried Sawdust Shavings for Smoking Guns, Smokers, Smoke Boxes - Barbecue Grilling Xmas Gift for Dad

First, please note that these are small wood chips/sawdust that is intended for use with an indoor cold smoker, not a backyard BBQ smoker. I see a bunch of 1-star reviews by people who apparently expected large wood chips for a backyard BBQ smoker, but they clearly didn't read the description where it's stated multiple times what it is. Having said that, this is great value for the money. I looked hard and couldn't find better cold smoke fuel for a comparable price. The flavor isn't quite as intense as some of the much more expensive suppliers, but it's still good and I'll be buying from them again. Though not for a while, because this package came with enough wood chips to last me for over a year (I only use a few pinches per week to smoke steak). I'm glad I got the mix pack to try out different flavors, but in the end my favorite is hickory. Hickory has the most intense smoke flavor of the various types, which I guess is why it's so popular. Cherry is the sweetest, while Oak and Alder are like milder forms of hickory.

Nice and easy to use.

These chips are designed ONLY for use in stovetop smokers such as these: Camerons Products Stainless Steel Stovetop Smoker Nordic Ware Oven...

I am enjoying the stove top smoker and these wood chips are perfect.

These are really good smoking chips.So far I have cooked with Cherry, Hickory and Alder.I mixed 50/50 cherry and Hickory together for Chicken and Ribs.Next time, I think I will mix 2 tablespoons of Hickory together with one tablespoon of Cherry to get more flavor. I used Alder for some Talipia Fish.I wasn't use to the smell of Alder and thought something was burning.The fish came out very tasty.I coated the fillets in lemon juice and seasoned them.The worst mistake I made was to soak the wood chips in Lemon juice. I havent tried the Oak chips yet.I can't wait to try Apple and Pecan. Note:Do not use any Acidic Liquids to soak wood chips in the Smoker!I have a Max Burton brand Stovetop Smoker. The Lemon juice stuck, so badly to the bottom of the smoker,that I thought I was going to have to purchase another one.I cleaned the bottom of the Smoker with oven cleaner.

The variety pack offers a good choice to sample woods among the most popular for grilling. The chips were not what I was expecting as they are fine, similar to coarse sawdust. I have tried to use these several times in a vented stainless steel box in a propane grill. So far no smoke and no discernible difference in the taste in beef, fish, or chicken. Maybe they will work more effectively with a charcoal or pellet grill. As for propane grills, I don’t recommend them.

They smoke so well !! The house smells lovely like a wood stove!! Thanks

I smoked a sablefish fillet on the stovetop with a home made smoker. Wow! The chips started smoking almost instantly and the fish was done and served in less than 25 minutes, start to finish.
