J.C.'s Smoking Wood Chunks - Gallon Sized Bag - Maple

I felt like a kid on Christmas morning when I got my shipment of these wood chunks in. I’ve been experimenting with smoking woods about a year ago and started off with wood chips. Chunks is the way to go! These are nice sized chunks and the flavor they give the meat I smoked was far superior than the chips I was using. So far I’ve used both hickory and pecan - they’ve been great so far! Can’t wait to experiment with the other wood chunks.

This was fantastic. I used only chunks of this for a few cooks and got a very sweet, seductive, smokey smell in the air and on my food. I then ran out and was forced to used chunks for the big box store and my goodnesses, they gave such off-putting, sooty, ashy smells. You can tell JC sells seasoned wood that is 100% the hardwood he says it is. Highly recommended, just wish he'd add some red oak ;)

The chunks always come with the bag completely filled - which is great. With the offset smoker for a 3lb salmon filet or a 5-7lb pork shoulder my husband is using 3-5 chunks per cook to add flavor. Can you use more? Surely! We aren’t using the chunks to build the fire as much as to add a hint of flavor and sometimes as a way to up the heat on longer cooks (like brisket). We don’t soak these like you do for wood chips - no need. The wood is always amazing from this seller.

The chunks are a good size and uniform.

Very consistent size, very clean wood. No bark or mold. Package was stuffed to the max with uniform wood chunks. I think this product is of great quality, albeit on the expensive side. I do wish the chunks were a bit bigger but are still a very useful 2” cube size. Very tasty flavor profile, screams traditional bbq. Was excellent to use with beef ribs. All around good smoke flavor, can’t wait to try on a pork butt.

Love the ability to get mulberry. Have always tried to get more unique wood to smoke with so far this is my favorite. A great smell and taste.

Great product made for a great meal in the smoker

I visited the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Door County in Wisconsin this past summer and discovered that all of the smokehouses use maple to smoke their fish. Here in Florida, that was a hard wood to find. J. C.s chunks were some of the few I could find. The flavor they impart is excellent and they ignite easily in both an electric smoker (Smokin-It #2) and my medium Big Green Egg. Since I'm only using it for fish, I only use one or two chunks at a time, so this bag will last me awhile, but a gallon bag is pretty small if you're going to use this for anything else. For the record, shipping was prompt and arrived in excellent condition.
