BBQ Wood Chunks for Smoking Food 7-9KG (8 Great Species to Choose From) Kiln Dried Wood - Chunks for Smoking Food on BBQ’s/Barbeques. Large 25 Litre Box - (Alder)

I bought these to use with my Masterbuilt gravity series barbecue when I’m smoking. Fantastic chunky wood for doing so. The box has wood varying in sizes from small splits to larger Guinea pig sized chunks.Great smoke profile and should good value for money. Will definitely purchase again.

I BBQ regularly using either a Pro Q bullet smoker or a Masterbuilt gravity fed smoker. I’ve ordered from this seller twice now and both times the wood has been excellent. This time I ordered cherry. There are mostly really positive reviews for this company but for whatever reason some of the more negative ones appear near the top so I felt compelled to write this for some balance and hopefully to give some pointers if you’re deciding what wood chunks to buy. Let’s start with what you get from the big high street brand of chunks you’ll find in decent garden centres. Their bags of wood chunks are about £10 for 1.5kg. The chunks are fairly uniform and fit in the palm of your hand. They’re great, ready to use, and only marginally more expensive than gold. They’ve also been shipped from the USA, so if you care about cost or the environment, they’re not a great choice. By comparison, these wood chunks equate to £10 for 4.5kg, so you get three times as much for your money. You also get locally grown sustainable wood, if that’s important to you. As is the case with every quality local supplier I’ve found, the compromise, if it is one - I personally think it’s part of BBQ, is that you have a little more to do before using them. When I say a little, it’s a 30 second job. The chunks will be fist size, maybe bigger. To get good results, assuming you’re using them a couple of chunks at a time with charcoal as most do, you really want to break them down into the kind of sizes that big brand sells. You can use an axe if you have one, but I sit them on the floor and give them a tap with a garden spade. They split really easily and you’ll get 3 or 4 pieces from each chunk. You’re much better off adding a few smaller pieces over the duration of your cook than having one large one sit smouldering the whole time - that’s when you can get that acrid over smoked taste. Smaller chunks will burn at the right rate and create light blue smoke - the truck is you want to hardly be able to see it, I’d you’ve put a couple of small chunks on, you know they’re burning, but you can only see a faint bit of smoke - that’s perfect. If you have big white plumes of smoke surrounding your ribs or brisket and leaking from your smoker, your food taste like you’ve just pulled it out of a house fire, regardless of what wood you’re using. I hope these suggestions help - in my experience these guys supply a great product, you just need to make sure you use it right.

Wood is ok. Didn’t weigh the box but felt about right for the lower estimate of weight 7kg. Burnt ok. Flavour was ok. All in all, good service, average quality wood and a bit expensive for what you actually receive. Would I buy it again? Not if I can find it cheaper but yes if not. The product doesn’t sway me.

Gives a good smokey flavour to BBQ meats

Bought these to smoke a beef brisket on a BBQ. The chunks I received were nice and big, managed to add chunks throughout a 15 hour smoke session and still have a fair amount left over.The flavour achieved from these was great, will definitely be looking to try some other varieties for future cooking sessions

I must admit I was initially put off by the top, most helpful reviews commenting on the quality of the wood.However needing some wood to smoke two large racks of ribs and a pork belly in a few days, I bit the bullet and took the plunge.First off the order arrived exactly when they said that it would, giving me time to do my smoke, which was excellent.The wood is clean, dry and has a good aroma. I would say that it seems to be of good quality and has been decently seasoned.I would agree with some of the reviews about chunk size, a little on the large size. Ideally for me chunks should not be bigger than the size of a fist and quite a few pieces were twice that size.I would however prefer them to be too large than too small, and they only required a single split to make them fit for purpose.Most importantly though, the flavour imparted to the meat was excellent. Light and sweetish. Works really well with Ribs definitely.I will be buying another box in a different flavour soon and hopefully they will be as good as this batch.

Still using it and it's been a few months.I'd deffo buy this wood again.

Great price and tons of wood. Will last a year.
