Perfect for our electric smokerGreat product!Good price!Will buy again!

I use these to throw a little smoke flavor on my chicken and salmon when grilling - the kids love it.

These Alder smoking chips were advertised on Amazon as weighing 2 lb (and a day later, 2.2 lb) each without qualification. I ordered 3 bags. When they arrived they felt light so I got out my postal scales. Sure enough, all 3 bags weighed in at around 1.5 lb, at best. If they were advertised as weighing 1.5 lb, I might have ordered the product anyway and been reasonably satisfied. But to be misled like this leaves me feeling ripped off. I would add one more comment. I would not call these "chips". They are more like fine shavings or confetti. When I see the word chips associated with wood for smoking, I think more in terms of wood chunks. They are decidedly not chunks. I will not buy this product again.Update:I called Cameron Products to complain. The woman who answered was very apologetic and said that the weight quoted stemmed from an average of their wood chips (hickory, mesquite, etc), most of which are heavier wood. She said that they prefer to describe the product in terms of volume, rather than weight and that they have been trying to get Amazon to change the description. She offered to send me a couple free bags. Apparently they have several Alder products, so I accepted one bag of the courser chunks. Given Cameron Products' helpfulness, I am changing my vote from 1 to 4 and I will buy from them in the future, though perhaps not through Amazon until they clean up their ad.

Very good product

Works for me!

Burns very well in my smoker tube for cold smoked cheeses, salts, salsas, meat sticks etc.

This wood has a great flavor. I ordered Oak and got genuine oak chips. However even I thoroughly dry the shavings in the microwave, leave the large 3 slot vent on the bottom of my Webber wide open and keep the top vent open they NEVER stay smoking. I even tried putting a fan directly below it to see if that would work. I have no trouble keeping pellets going in cold smokes this way, and other dust I have used also works. I suppose these could work in a hot smoking application where you had a direct heat source under them at all times. They would probly burn quick though.

Using in an indoor smoker and the chips give the food a good taste.
