CameronsAll Natural Oak Wood Chunks for Smoking Meat - 420 Cu. in. Box, Approx 5 Pounds - Kiln Dried Large Cut BBQ Wood Chips for Smoker - Barbecue Chunks Smoker Accessories - Grilling Gifts for Men

Great quality wood that gave a wonderful flavor to many different smoked meats.It arrived nice and dry and can be stored right in the box it shipped in which was nice.It burns well and lights well, lends a great flavor to really any cut or type of meat that I threw it at. Consistently produced a solid meal in my vertical charcoal smoker.

Much to my surprise when the amazon.com packaging was opened, the Cameron's Products Small Bag BBQ Chunks, Mesquite was not small at all, but a good standard-sized bag, comparable to a standard bag of Weber Grill Chunks.The reason that this product was purchased was because Cameron's offered large mesquite wood chunks instead of small splintered ones. (In certain smoking/grilling applications it is more desirous to employ larger wood chunks than utilize smaller splintered ones within a foil pouch.)The Cameron's Products Mesquite Wood Chunks arrived in about 7 business days (was purchased with free shipping) and provides that good-old-fashioned mesquite smoke flavor to barbecued meats. When utilized with hickory wood chunks, both impart a good smoked meat flavor when you barbecue at low and slow temperatures. The wood chunks arrived dry and when added to the smoker/grill, ignited, burned and gave off a good quantity of smoke. (It should be noted that only 1 or 2 chunks of wood should be used at a time, as a good barbecue should not produce a lot of smoke, just enough to flavor the meat).If I recall the purchase price correctly, this item was priced slightly higher than a similar-sized bag that was not the large wood chunks. Other providers offered even larger bags at greater cost. If one can do the math ahead of time, one might be able to compare cost-to-weight ratios as well as shipping costs and determine what the best value for your dollar actually is.The Cameron's Products was chosen because of the lower shipping costs which offered free shipping when the order was over $25 (this item was purchased with a outdoor 5-way grill spatula). Other 3rd-party amazon providers may not offer free shipping, so count these costs if saving money is important to you.All in all, the Cameron's Products Small Bag BBQ Mesquite Chunks received 5 stars for the fact that the wood chunks offered by Cameron's Products were large wood chunks, not splintered small ones. The only slight disadvantage is the slightly higher initial cost, but this was expected because of the limited availability of large wood chunks.More often, manufacturers often find it easier to shred the wood utilized for smoking/grilling instead of cutting them to the appropriate grill size. Some machines are designed to shred the wood into these shards and this is less costly than the action of cutting them into chunks. Less labor means reduced cost. The large wood chunks required more labor, hence the higher initial cost. Factor this in, and then you'll understand why larger wood chunks cost more than the shredded wood.

Great cherry wood, just smallish pieces. Wish they sold bigger hunks for smokers!!!I would buy from these guys anytime!!

Perfect product. Large enough chucks to make smoking a breeze. Will by more.

Rip off. A bunch of scrap pieces with maybe 1 large chunk. Does not meet advertised weight. I should of read the reviews more carefully.

I ordered the 5lb box of apple wood chunks. Upon opening the box I was pleased to see that all the chunks were virtually identical in size, about 3 inch cubes. I do my smoking on a Weber Performer with a Slow N Sear set up and that size is perfect. I have previously been using Weber wood chunks the size of which are inconsistent ranging from fist sized to slivers. I am pleased with the smoke and flavor of the Cameron Wood Chunks however I don’t detect any difference in taste from the Weber. So to summarize I really like the consistent size of the Cameron Apple Wood Chunks. The smoke flavor imparted to the protein is equal to that of the Weber Apple Wood Chunks. So the question becomes is the consistency of the wood chunk worth the extra cost ($16 for 5lb of Cameron vs $8 for 4lb of the Weber? Figuring in that I had zero waste product on the Cameron and the size is perfect for my application it is for me.

Expensive, but well worth it

Small box, wood looks like it was rolled in dirt before it was packaged. About what you should expect for the money.
