Camerons All Natural Extra Fine Hickory BBQ Wood Chips for Smokers (1 Pint, 0.473L)- Kiln Dried Wood Sawdust Shavings for Cocktail Smoking Guns, Stovetop Smokers, Smoke Boxes - Barbecue Grilling Gifts

I wanted to try these stove top chips before investing in a stove top smoker. I got a very heavy disposable foil pan and put 2 tablespoons of chips on the bottom, at the sides of the pan. Then I put my rack in with marinated salmon on top. The salmon filets were in the middle of the rack so they would not drip on the chips. I covered the pan tightly with heavy duty foil. I did turn on the stove fan, but found that it wasn't necessary at all. There was no smoke escaping from the pan. I turned the burner on very low and the fish was done to perfection in 10 minutes. It had a terrific hickory flavor, and it was moist and tender. CAUTION!!! I have since read that using a foil pan on a gas burner is not safe because the fire can burn through the bottom of the pan. Since I had a very low flame and a thick pan this did not happen, but I will not do this again! I tried this with a deep cast iron skillet and a cast iron dutch oven, both with racks in them, and cast iron lids. Perfect! I'm sure any oven safe stainless steel skillet would work too. I would not use a non-stick pan though, the heat may get too high and I'm not sure about toxic fumes. I read that the heat can get over 350 degrees in a covered pan. Hickory is a strong smoke and is more suitable for beef, pork and chicken. I will be purchasing the milder alder or apple chips for future fish preparation. The book Smokin' has good recipes, but I really more appreciated the detailed smoking times information for each food, and the suggested smoking chip flavors for each food. I had never thought of smoking garlic bread or pizza sauce either! Great book. Smokin': Recipes for Smoking Ribs, Salmon, Chicken, Mozzarella, and More with Your Stovetop Smoker Just a reminder, these stove top chips are really more the consistency of saw dust. This is so they will start smoking quickly when heated. They only smoke for about 20 minutes since that is all that is needed to impart the smoky flavor. The "low and slow" cooking comes when you put the food in the oven to finish cooking. For example, ribs or pulled pork. These chips would burn up too quickly on an outside grill. For that you would need the large chunks of wood. Whatever your method, smoke really adds terrific flavor to food, including vegetables, and it sure is fun to experiment! UPDATE: 7/3/17 I now own three smokers. Nordicware (for large things like whole chickens), and both the large and small Cameron's smokers. No more messing around with DIY smoking methods! Smoked garlic bread...holey smokes!

I got these for a very small smoker that requires fine wood. This stuff is easy to use, burns better than just expected, and adds flavor and aroma very well. I like the quality of the container as I'm not worried about it tipping and spilling.

Because it's manufactured in USA, I don't worry about weird chemicals or gases. A very small pinch provides plenty of flavor. I avoid butane lighters and instead use a wooden kitchen match to ignite the chips, hovering the lit match above the chips, then switch on the smoke infuser. The flame is pulled down into the chips, which produce voluminous smoke. Works with cheese, vegetables, whiskey cocktails — you can even use these chips to infuse extra smoke flavor into your steaks. All delicious!

The Cameron's smoker and wood dust impart an incredible amount of flavor to foods in a very short amount of time. However, you must remember that this is a HOT smoking method and you need to adjust your cooking strategy accordingly. This is true because of the temperature necessary to get the wood dust to produce smoke. Cook your protein low and slow FIRST to keep it tender, THEN use the Cameron's smoker to add the smoke flavor at the end.

I have been using these for years and I have very satisfied.

I was concerned about the size of the wood before ordering, but it was very fine and burned well. It burned right around my “M” shaped burner completely. But it’s a bit expensive to use for long-time smoking jobs. I’ll use it in my gas grill to add flavor. I’d buy it again.

My husband ordered these hickory wood smoker chips to go with the electric smoker I bought him for Christmas. Being that it was our first time purchasing wood chips for a smoker, we didn't really know what to expect. The wood "chips" came in a small pint container but weren't really chips. It was more like dust. When the smoker arrived and we read the directions, we knew we would need more than just a pint of dust so we went out and purchased a 2.94 L bag of actual wood chips at the local store for only 2.00 compared to the 5.00 we payed for this. The bag doesn't have a weight-like (pounds) measurement but is equivalent to the size of a bag of egg noodles (but heavier of course), if that helps.

This product I use a lot for indoor smoking. Takes little time to start smoking & is great for cooking smoked foods. The price is fairly reasonable. If you love smoked foods or beverages get this product. You’ll be pleased.

Amazing for cocktail/drinks smoke infusion. Large quantity - adequate for years

Works with stove top smoker.

Very good smoked favor to my sushi.

I loved the smell of smoked meat

Very less quality for the product quantity being sold. However the smell in the wood is amazing.
