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

It imparts an excellent aroma and flavor to the meat.

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

I’ve written a lot of reviews and read a lot of reviews, and I’m no longer surprised to see questions, or bad reviews, that are clearly a case of this one fact: the reviewer/purchaser DIDN’T READ THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION COMPLETELY. That’s the case with the smoking ‘chips.’ One problem might be that, by calling them ‘chips’ (rather than, perhaps, wood for smoke guns, or something more descriptive), some buyers may expect to receive ‘chips.’ So: a few comments about this product. Some reviewers complain that this is very fine, like sawdust. It is. Smoke guns only require a pinch or so of the very fine wood in order to get the smoke gun to work. Larger chips wouldn’t work. Some reviewers complain that there isn’t very much in these containers. There isn’t. The product is made for smoke guns, not for barbecues. It only takes a pinch for the smoke gun. EACH of these containers can support a LOT of pinches, and will last a LONG time when used in the way it’s supposed to be used. Some reviewers complain that the ‘chips’ burn out too quickly. It does – if you misuse it and try to ‘smoke’ your food in a smoker box or barbecue. The point is – this wood does exactly what it’s supposed to do, if it’s used with the right device (a smoke gun). Purchasers should be able to see that these are only made for smoke guns, and shouldn’t be surprised by what they’ve received. NOTE: Although I’m using this ‘sawdust’, I also have a Traeger barbecue that uses compressed wood pellets, from a variety of woods. I haven’t tried this, but I wouldn’t be too surprised if I’m able to grate a pellet into small ‘sawdust’ that does what this packaged material will do – but doing so would be a hassle, and it would take a lot of pellets to get as much fine wood as these ‘buckets’ hold.

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.

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

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.

Nice and easy to use.

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.
