Camerons All Natural BBQ Wood Chips, Apple, Hickory, Mesquite Oak, 4 Pack

Good assortment of woods for my small food/drink smoker. Imparts smoke flavor to foods and drinks. These are for tiny, tabletop smokers, not for outdoor smokers that require large quantities of wood.

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.

These chips are designed ONLY for use in stovetop smokers such as these: Camerons Products Stainless Steel Stovetop Smoker Nordic Ware Oven Essentials Indoor and Outdoor Smoker They work wonderfully for that purpose, and a little goes a long way. We get at least a year's worth of frequent smoking out of one set of chips. Each variety has its own unique flavor and aroma. In our most recent order, three of the containers were the maroon and white label shown in the photo, while the fourth was a mismatched, full-color label. Since this was a gift for a friend, I really wish that all four containers had matched. Also, the packaging is sorely lacking. I typically do NOT talk about packing problems in a product review, but in this case it is the design of the pint containers that makes the packing problematic. The lids snap on like margarine tub lids, but fit quite loosely. As a result, each time we order, at least one lid has jostled off, with chips spilled all over the inside the box. Its wasteful, and seems like it could really compromise the freshness of the chips. A tighter fitting lid and/or disposable seal would really be an improvement. Other than those two, minor gripes, this is a great set, offering variety and quality at a reasonable price.

For my smoker this is the perfect product! The four flavors are very noticeable and I love it!

It imparts an excellent aroma and flavor to the meat.

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

Shame on me for not reading the description more... but... in no way should these be called “wood chips”. There is no a single chip in these cups, it is wood shavings. I saw wood chips and assumed it would be like every other wood chip on amazon. Not at all, these work, but are used up QUICKLY. If you have an electric smoker, like a masterbuilt, look elsewhere. You do NOT want these “chips”. What a joke.

I bought this to use with my Cameron Stovetop Smoker and PolyScience Smoking Gun. It should be noted that these are FINE wood chips, which is more like saw dust (as shown in the product picture) and not like those big chunks that you find at Home Depot. It only takes 1-2 tablespoons of chips for use in the stovetop smoker so a little goes a long way and I'm quite happy with the amount that I received. So far I have only used the Alder chips to smoke salmon filets. It came our very flavorful and delicious. I'll update my review one I have used the other flavors.

Great flavor and greater value

My husband has a smoker and uses these to cook meat, chicken and pork. He likes the variety and can try different wood chips for each smoked product. Convenient containers.

sa sens bon

Gift

Very expensive but certainly does the job. Good flavour.
