Camerons Natural Extra Fine BBQ Wood Chips - Apple, Cherry, Bourbon, Oak, Hickory, Maple, Pecan, Mesquite (8 Pints)- Sawdust Shavings for Smoking Guns, Smokers, Smoke Boxes - Barbecue Variety Gift Set

I'm new to stovetop smoking. I saw a smoker in action on the Food Network, and had to try it out. I had a great time experimenting with the two types of wood that came with the smoker and was very quickly ready to try other woods. After searching locally, I turned to Amazon, where I bought the smoker, to find more chips. This set is a gold mine. I've read dozens of recipes since I got the smoker, and haven't yet found one that calls for a wood that isn't in the set. There's a pint of each kind, and you only need a tablespoon or so of chips for each batch of food, so even if I were to smoke something every day, I'd be set for a long time. The main reason I bought the smoker was to make ancho and chipotle chiles. I grow hot peppers for fun, just to see what the different kinds are like, and had plenty of poblanos and jalapenos to play with. I made the first batch of each using alder, which was included with the smoker. After smoking them, I put them in the dehydrator. Not only did the kitchen smell great, the finished product looked gorgeous and tasted wonderful. Since then I've done habaneros and serranos with alder as well. I'll pick more peppers today and use the pecan chips. Can't wait to compare the flavors. In addition to peppers, I've also smoked pork chops (hickory) and chicken breasts (applewood). Delicious! We eat meat with very little fat, and the smoker keeps most of the moisture inside so the meat doesn't dry out as it can on the grill. Now that I have bourbon-soaked oak chips, I expect we'll be having ribs before too long. This product is a great value for the money. Highly recommended. (If you don't have a stovetop smoker but are reading this review anyhow, get a smoker. They aren't expensive and they're incredibly easy to use. I recommend the Cameron's brand, but there are others on Amazon -- check it out.)

I got a new smoker gun and smoker cabinet for Christmas (for smoking cocktails and appetizers,to name two); the set only came with a small bag of hickory and I wanted to have as complete a set of flavors/smoke as possible so I bought this set. First off, you get EIGHT different one pint containers of wood shavings that are the PERFECT size for smoke guns/flavor infusers. I did put a fine mesh screen in my smoking gun to ensure the really fine shavings don't go through. The shaving light immediately and a small amount produces a lot of smoke quickly. The smoke the each wood produces is wonderful, with some producing a strong scent and others a more delicate one. I have used them to smoke cocktails (like an Old Fashioned) and even sliced cheese (which came out wonderfully, after I gave it overnight in the fridge to 'settle down'). The pint containers will last a LOOOONG time for me, as I am using a pinch at a time, but even if you use more they will last a while. The only disappointment was there was no Alder, so I ordered that separate. Great set and worth the money.

I purchased this smoking chips set for my new stove top smoker. I see some other reviewers claiming disappointment at the Sawdust/fine texture of this smoking wood. In their defense; if you are using a stove top smoker; this is the texture you want. They burn slowly and evenly and produce the BEST smokey flavor you can imagine. It is like food from an outdoor smoker after it has been cooking all day. This does in a few hours what it takes all day outdoors. If you are looking for chips for a larger smoker these are not the ones you would want; they are simply too fine and would burn up to quickly. These can last several hours in my stove top smoker and infuse the meat with a wonderful smokey flavor. You only need 1-2 tablespoons.. so each container lasts for many smokings. I can’t wait to try them all. I made Mesquite smoked whole roast chicken and it was fantastic, so moist, wonderfully smokey and I didn’t end up with a smokey kitchen either. I would highly recommend these chips and in the interest of full disclosure NO ONE GAVE ME THIS ITEM FREE, OR AN INCENTIVE FOR MY HONEST REVIEW.

nice smoker variety of flavors

They work well in my Handheld Smoke Infuser from Piccalo! I purchased these on 01/10/2020. So I have had them for over a year and half. No loss in smell or functionality. They have been great for drinks, cheeses, fruits, and meats! If you don't know what you want, as far as "flavors", this is a great variety pack! They will last you quite some time if using in a hand held. I have not used a quarter of any of my buckets I don't use it daily, abut I have been known to over use, or just add aroma to the room. So, you won't be running out in a couple of weeks of any one of the scents. Not paid, not offered any discounts or free whatnot, purchased at the regular price, and would do it again!

I purchased these wood chips to use with a small smoking gun for making cocktails. The flavor of these chips are great, they smoke well, and add a fun wow factor to your cocktails. We've had a great time experimenting with different drinks and smoking small food items, such as strawberries. For those customers that complained about the size of the wood chips, they clearly did not read the title description that says "extra fine cut sawdust smoker chips." Their reviews had me second guessing the product, until I realized that. These wood chips are extra fine as they are perfect for smaller, handheld smokers. Also, River Colony Trading was great to work with. I purchased the 8-pint sampler pack. When it arrived, the lid had popped off one of the tubs. When I emailed the company to request a replacement for the opened tub, they were prompt and courteous. The replacement tub arrived much quicker than I expected!

These were extremely fine chips, lots of dust. I wish they would have put a film to seal the chips in each container under the lid. I opened my package and there was a ton of wood dust all over the box and containers. They were not as fragrant as I had hoped for. I also read a review stating that these chips have cancer causing ingredients and it is alarming that the information had not been listed.

This product was bought for use in a Breville Smoking Gun and it was what I was looking for. It is labeled as extra fine chips which may be misread or maybe misleading if you’re looking for regular sized chips for general purpose smoking/grills. It’s just slightly larger than sawdust. It’s cut so thin or shredded for convenience in a gun style smoker. You could surely do it yourself by buying larger chunks and cutting it down to shreads for yourself for cheaper, but this was an easy way to get a ready made variety without buying tons of excess. I kinda wanted to see what I liked and then maybe I’ll cut my own. The pint size containers will probably last me a good while. I’m thinking up to a year even if you smoke things regularly with a gun. Pretty good value at $27 when purchased for the amount of chips (about a pint) and the variety. I would like to see Alder and maybe a couple others but it’s s good selection as is. I’d buy it again.

This is nice size tiny chips and shavings of different wood species in its own small containers. The flavours from each one of them amazing! This is exactly what I was looking for for my Pro-Q Cold smoker. I would prefer a bigger containers for the price though, that's why I gave only 4 stars for it.

Exactly as ordered. The only issue was the quantity of wood chips, There was too much for my needs. My problem, not theirs. If you do a lot of smoking, this will meet all your needs I'm sure.

I don't know why but this is the first option thay comes up, when you search for wood pellets. I just accidentally bought this not realizing it was chips. The product smells fantastic though I can't knock that, this is simply due to Amazon's search engine. I don't need to return em. But I still need to get pellets. I'm just not getting on Amazon this time

Originally purchased for use in a smoker (pellet style) as a gift. However, this product's intended use is for electric pan smokers, as it is various sizes of actual wood chips. Based on the historical use of electric smokers, the variety of flavors is very impressive and the quantity of each wood type is substantial enough to infuse multiple sittings. Good purchase for both the avid or the beginner BBQ smoker.

the wood chips is perfect size for the small smoke machine. works really great. it come with 8 of different
