Hickory BBQ Smoker Wood Chips Jumbo 4.5 Litre Bag – (24 Great Flavours 100% Natural Nothing Added) Smoking Food in a Smoker/BBQ - Many from our own Woodland (Hickory)

We have used various wood chips in our BBQ's over the years usually purchased from local garden centres, which have been expensive for a small amount and whilst soaked for a long period as they have been small sized chips have burnt away quickly so really loosing their ability to influence the flavour of the items being cooked. Our last previous experience was to purchase a pack which turned out to be nothing more than chopped up kitchen units i.e chip board.So we went looking for something better than we had previously purchased but with a much better selection so we gave Amazon a look. Came up with these Guys at Gwernyfed Wood selling a variety of differing woods in a decent sized pack at a very reasonable price, so having read the reviews we gave the oak a try.Arrived ahead of time, well packed in a seal again poly bag, and had an excellent assortment of wood cuts. all shapes and sizes. Looked and felt far far better that our very average alternative previous purchases. A percentage of rough cut dust which we passed thro a normal colander to sift out and re bag separately, it was around 5% of volume not weight, and we used to sprinkle on the coals prior to adding the soaked chips, so not wasted.Whilst we dont have a smoker just a large normal BBQ, the wood was slow burning due to its size and gave off a sweet wood flavour that really did penetrate into the pork chops, chicken, sausages, burgers, and fresh veg with shrimps on sticks. So we really did enjoy this product, and we have more that enough to use for another 3 BBQ's.Sorry to rant on, but we are all very conscious of the effect on our environment that trashing our trees without any concern for the future, without the planting of the future generation, and Just having an interest in how much money can be put in the pockets of those trashers. We are surrounded by 5 houses all with log burners, and when you ask where does your wood come from and how sustainable is its source?, they have no idea whatsoever, but looks great when it's burning and putting shedloads of toxins into our air that we breath at the same time. So for us getting this product from such a sustainable source was another significantly added benefit.. purchase and enjoy their wood chips, you will not regret it.

This is a very large bag, and the aromas that it gives off when being used on a barbeque are delicious. Putting chicken or sausages on these gives them a lovely smokey flavour.4 1/2 litres sounds like a lot, and it is. That's enough for about 4 barbeque's if you're feeding a family. If you REALLY want to smoke your food byu putting the lid on and leaving (say) fish in the cooler bbq for a while, you may only get 2 to 3 bbq's out of it. If you're cooking for two, and just doing a few steaks, you could probably get this to last 5 or 6 bbqs.I think I paid around £12 for the bag, which feels like a good price considering how much you get.

I purchased my order of smoking wood chips (oak) one day and the very next day there was a knock at the door, they had arrived in less than 24 hours!! Truly OUTSTANDING quality of service!The chips have been perfect for using in my hot & cold smoker! They've given the items I've smoked such a beautiful flavor.Perfect each time. And EXTREMELY reasonable prices. FANTASTIC!

Bought this product because I objected to paying such high carriage costs on buying ‘western willy’ wood chips. Great move. They have a great perfume and they smoke well. Gives the meat a lovely sweet smoked flavour. My only criticism would be that the wood chips are slightly larger and therefore require a longer soak. No problem though and once smoking, they last longer and you get a deeper smoke. Nice product and good value.

For me it was a bigger bag that expected. I got Alder (didn’t realise there was a choice) - All I noticed was the word ‘smoke’ - now I’m hoping they’re ok for smoking fish? Hardly any dust in bags which I noticed was mentioned in other reviews also bigger than expected chips. I’m happy, just hoping I choose the right wood - I might have choose oak or cherry if I’d noticed 🙄

Expected a bigger bag (think handbag and you're there). The smoke is lovely although the many of the wood chips are very small, almost dust. I started out with Weber chips.....so very much better....didn't appreciate just how high they set the bar.

Excellent value for money .Not tried just yet as the weather took a turn for the worse.I think these will last a long time because they are a large chip not like some brands where they are more like floor sweepings.Will update when the weather improves.Used these for first time at the Weekend and as expected they were great ,only needed a few chips to get a good smoke going.

The service was spot on with the wood chips arriving very quickly. I ordered apple and cherry chips and I have to say that it has opened a world of flavour on the charcoal BBQ with chicken and pork having been slow cooked and smoked on consecutive days.All in all the service from Gwernyfed Wood was very quick and efficient with the whole process as goodie could be.
