Do get these. They have the power to transform an otherwise unremarkable supermarket chicken.

At £3.99 a bag I thought they were a bit pricey (compared with the beechwood I have all around me for free), however you don't need that many to beautifully flavour a barbecue.

Soak them first, then toss onto the hot coals. Cook. Enjoy. smokin

Definately.

I've been working my smoker to the bone lately, using hickory as a base for most things. Also use apple/maple for a different, milder smoke taste. Cherry/pecan are also highly versatile, but not got round to using them.

On that note, must go and check on the beef jerky in the smoker now, over thin blue hickory smoke..
