20 Best Wood Chips For Smoking A Turkey (2023 Updated)

Super fast delivery! Outstanding product. My smoker made so much smoke and smelled mouthwatering. If you love preparing jerk chicken the right way, use this product.

Hickory wood chips. These are Fantastic. Good flavour with chicken, pork or lamb. Highly recommend.

I used these chips to make authentic jerk chicken on my grill. As an active chef, i know what good wood quality is and what’s not. These are! The chips are of a mild smokey flavor.

I was happy to walk in to my office and see my package from Cowboy Charcoal after a weekend of turkey hunting. I knew at that moment how I would try it out. I was lucky enough to harvest a nice bird and decided to smoke the breast.

So after opening the delivery box I was very pleased with the packaging and love the Cowboy brand logo. The chunks were of of good quality and of various sizes. The chunks all seemed consistent adding some smaller ones which I really liked as well.

I really like how the smaller pieces gave instant smoke and heat while the larger chunks smoldered and kept the heat for quite some time. I was able to smoke the 11 lb. breast with an initial small fire made of Cowboy Southern style Hardwood Lump charcoal and lump chunks.

Once the fire was established I was able to maintain temperature by adding a few soaked chunks every 45 minutes to an hour. I used about a half a bag to complete my bird, so I have enough to try something else in the near future.

The quality of wood is excellent and provided adequate heat and smoke during the process. I loved how I was able to maintain temperature while smoking just using the lumps. The bird turned out fantastic and had great hickory flavor.

I shared the smoked turkey with family and coworkers who thought the hickory chunks provided a nice Smokey flavor to the meat. I’ve gotta say lump hickory is where it’s at.

I am a very frequent griller. I grill 5-6 times a week during the summer and 3-4 times a week during the winter. in Maine. But, I am not a grilling snob. I have a gas grill, a nice charcoal grill, and even a fire pit with a grilling rack for that real ‘flame-broiled’ flavor.

I usually use regular charcoal mixed with cherry wood for pit grilling, so when I tried the Cowboy Mesquite Wood Chunks, I was somewhat skeptical. Was I surprised!! The flavor was a slightly sweet, smokey taste that we hadn’t had before! My wife was thoroughly impressed! While I will continue to gas and charcoal grill, Cowboy Mesquite Wood Chunks! My wife also wants me to try the Pecan and Apple Chucks.

Very impressed!.

These wood chunks surpassed my expectations, not only in the way they burned but the outcome of using them for my chicken, a great flavor was the outcome. I’ve used other products with the same promises of these but the flavor never came about like these chunks did.

Also, they were economical to use, for me only needed 2 chunks to get the job done. So they were easy to use, flavored the chicken, plus the smell of them was pleasant and added to the grilling experience.

What’s not to like, not a thing. Love my new found grilling chunks.

Ok This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority.

Food is pretty good, some italian classics and some twists, and for their prices it’s 100% worth it.

Cheesy crust is the bomb and mouthwatering pls eat with caution hot and ready but overall great great great I don’t wanna share. But great for sleepover and parties and very filling. Not more I can say but get it Cheesy crust is the bomb and mouthwatering pls eat with caution hot and ready but overall great great great I don’t wanna share.

Fave cream bronzer ever! Since I have combination skin, I did not expect to love a cream formula so much! I bought it with the internet of trying it out then giving it to my mom or friend after the initial try, but ended up keeping.

I have a light/medium reddish undertone but with foundation this bronzer looks great! I’ve had a hard time with the tarte glow palette bronzer (both cream and powder) where the countour/bronzer looked so unnatural and unflattering so I pretty much gave up on making a bronzer work, but this made me believe in bronzers again.

Also blends in super well with a beauty blender!.

Grilling time is upon us and we recently purchased to add to our grilling experience!! We made delicious ribs and the hickory smell lingered throughout our neighborhood making everyone ask what’s for dinner? Try adding some wood chips to your grill routine!!.

Alder is a perfect wood for smoking Salmon or Trout! This is a premium product as far as quality goes. My own preference would be for chunks instead of the chips, but Cabela”s only sells the chips. I cook fish offset from the direct heat on a ceramic grill, but any grill will work fine.

The wood is added directly to the fire side with the dome temperature around 300f. The fish always comes out nicely smoked and cooked yet moist.

They produce smoke over a long period,often still around when I have shut the grill down waiting for it to cool. The mesquite brings back memories of when my wife and I used to meet at city grill when we worked downtown, they would use mesquite on on their meat products, brings back the memories.

We bought three bags of different wood. The first bag was mostly bark. In all three bags the wood was so wet it would not catch and just ruined everything with white smoke. We were better off using cheap firewood from the local gas station.

Really disappointed.

These hickory chips worked great. I have a metal smoker box in which I put the presoaked chips. I’ve placed them in the electric stove with BBQ chicken, pork roast, and steak. The hickory smell penetrates the meat as I slow cook it.

The house also gets a warm hickory scent – BONUS!.

Produces nice smelling smoke, I use this for pork ribs, it produces a really nice taste. It’s good value, I use about half a bag for one session of 2 hours of smoking

I’m not sure about this product, my husband likes. But I don’t see, smell or taste something diferente when he uses this product.

Good flavors, good price. I use these in my masterbuilt electric smoker and these chips will go a long way. I have used some of the Maple and the Apple on 3 different occasions and it looks like I have barely made a dent in the bags.

These will last you a long time.

The chips in this pack are great! It was nice to get a variety of chips in the same size bags as individual sale bags. The included DVD was informative and fun to watch. Plus getting the little smoker try as a bonus was a nice addition to use on my BBQ grill.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my Brother in Law. Definitely a good purchase

My son makes a lot of smoked meats so I gave him these for his smoker as one of his Birthday gifts. He loved them and really appreciated them since he was almost out. I enjoy Waltons products and they have always been appreciated by friends and family.

Excellent products. The order was received on-time and as described. The free catalog included was a nice bonus as well. I will definately use Walton’s as my go-to source for my outdoor grilling needs.

Great flavor for making your favorite snacks. Favorite is alder when making garlic and pepper jerky!

Absolutely love hickory wood. It has a heady earthy smoke that compliments most meats really well. Just a level below mesquite wood, we love it because it is not too strong but not too subtle. I have looked everywhere for this wood in stores.

It seems to be the popular because it’s out of stock everywhere. Get you some!.

“This is your best brisket yet”, said my wife after I smoked a 10 lb brisket flat using Western Post Oak wood chunks. I normally smoke brisket with hickory wood chunks; but I read that post oak has a more mild flavor and is the preferred wood type used for Texas-style smoked brisket.

The smoky flavor in the brisket was present, but not overpowering. These wood chunks really brought out the flavor of the brisket (along with the salt and pepper rub I used). I did use one and a half bags of the Western Post Oak wood chunks along with half a bag of B&B Lump Charcoal for the 10+ hour cook.

We started buying this Pecan wood for smoking after trying some Peacan smoked wings we like the flavor. We have used for smoking burgers and a brisket since and have really come to love the mild flavor which allows our home made rubs to stand out and allows for the meats to have different taste even though they were cooked together.

Nice apple wood smoke – not too strong, but not too weak, just right for me when smoking pulled pork. Wood chips are not consistent in size – some are a little bigger, some a little smaller. I consider this a positive feature, as my electric smoker has a small wood trip filling tray.

Sometimes I mix this with hickory or other woods if I’m going for a stronger smokey flavor with different woods. So, being able pick and choose chips of just the right size is a good thing.

Extremely disappointed in how these chips smoked my pork shoulder roast this July 4. The smoker was set as always, 250F, 8 hours, and both chip holders were filled, and water in the tray below. First, no smoke ever even left from the top vent.

how is this???? NO SMOKE The temperature gauge shows 250F. The finished pork flavor was totally, 100% lacking in any hickory flavor. I cannot imagine what kind this wood is, but it simply DIDN”T ACT RIGHT, like hickory.

I have hickory limbs in my yard that have shed from trees, and, truth be known, I would have come out much better just breaking these limbs up and smoking with them. Horrible result, and I have gone to every store in Harrison to purchase bags of hickory chips to smoke the next pork shoulder.

Since I bought this flavor, I always use Western wooden PEACH chips in the smoker! This is a hard to find item never seen in local hardware stores. Easy to light and it produces a nice smoky peachy flavor.

LOVE IT!!!.

These worked great, I built. myself a woodfire smoker and used these, soaked them overnight in some water and they smoked like a chimney. I cooked 32 burgers and 32 hot dogs at the same time and they cooked in about an hour.

The flavor was good, not overly strong, but also somewhat easy to miss. I blame my inexperience for this and will soon be trying this on a large cut of meat to really put it to the test.

These wood chips not only added more heat to my fire but add more flavor to my food. Only a little bit went w long way so the bag last a long time. It tastes like it was marinated and smoked but without having to waste the time of smoking or marinating.

They were some of the best steaks we have eaten thanks to these chips. The heat was hotter so you have to keep an eye to make sure you don’t burn them! Easy to use and will definitely be using them again!.

This one plus pound bag of Apple Smoking Chips is a must order every time. I use these for smoking brisket and what an improvement in the flavor. The smokiness is almost indescribably good. There is a sweetness that isn’t overpowering and the aroma is smoky sweet.

I will order this again for sure and probably use rapid reorder, which is very convenient.

The flavor from these apple chips is sensational. Much better than oak or other standard hardwoods. After putting chips on the fire, you can immediately smell the sweet smoky flavor.

I can’t stand mesquite at all so we decided to try apple – hoping the smokey taste would be to my liking. These wood chips are excellent! The taste for our Thanksgiving turkey was amazing and I would definitely buy these again.

Big mesquite taste. These burn perfectly. They smell delicious and taste even better. I love using these for beef for a strong tangy flavor.

These chunks are good for smoking. However, these are not meant for the smokers that Cabela’s has them recommended for. I purchased a Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite at the same time and they recommend chips not chunks.

I’ve had to manually break up the chunks for them to fit into the smoker, which can be a real pain. As for cooking, they work fine.

Western Woods just started offering peach wood chunks in 2013 and Bass Pro Shops has the best price that I have seen. For those of you that have never used peach these are more like branches than the traditional chunks that you see with hickory or mesquite but don’t be fooled by the flavor that peach adds to your meat.

The chunks arrived fresh and very quickly. Highly recommend the peach chunks. I haven’t seen these in any of my local area stores yet but like I said, they are fairly new.

Bought this for a friend and it works perfectly! Just a pinch of wood chip and ten seconds of flame. followed by two minutes of anticipation – then. drumroll. SHAZAAM! Taste the smokey deliciousness! Buy one and try it!.

Got this for my hubby for his birthday. Unique and he likes whiskey. He was very happy with it. I bought the kit and the add ons. The torch was a huge hit for him as well!

A 10! Easy to use, stepped up the drinks with additional flavor! Oak was fantastic! Looking forward to all the chip flavors.

Wow is an understatment! We made bbq chicken, potates and carrots, and corn! The flavor was amazing. It soaked into the chicken and potatoes really well. Re chicken was so tender and moist. I wa very pleased with this product and will definitely use again!! The power went out doing a storm so we grilled, and what a perfect tasting meal on a quiet dark night!!.

Most chips you put on the pit are ok, but to not only taste the pecan, the smell of pecan fills the air. It’s not overwhelming or powerful, just the fight amount to make your bbq have that pecan taste.

Most people pay a lot of money for pecan wood, these chips are the same and not so expensive. Great product Cowboy Charcoal.

I love these chips!. I use them every time that I cook out. I put them in a small perforated aluminum pan that fits across the “flavorizer”, flare up bars in my weber grill. They are not really chunky type chips.

They are more like very short shreds. I prefer that because they start smoking quicker than chunks. These chips produce a mellow but flavorful smoke. I think that is due to the mix of Alder wood with the Cherry.

I will mix these chips with Apple wood chips sometime to produce a more distinct smoke flavor. I prefer fruitwood chips over hardwood because the flavor is always milder and sweeter. I will definately buy more of these chips.

They are a great deal!.

I read some reviews from folks who suggest these chips burn too fast. That’s because they are very finely shaved expressly for the Luhr Jenson “Chief” smokers (Big Chief and Little Chief. ) The chips go into a shallow “flavorizer pan” over a 450 watt element.

Used this way they burn slowly over 45 minutes. Two pans is 90 minutes of smoke which can do 25 pounds of salmon in one batch. The product is terrific! But it has to be used in the right equipment. On my Weber kettle grill for instance, I use “chips” that are about 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes.

Different smoke equipment, different chips.
