Weber 17006 Cherry Wood Chips, 3-Pound

Used these chips to smoke some pork this weekend and the taste was incredible. Two cups soaked in water were more than enough and for the most part the chips were a nice size and not filled with dust like some other chips I have purchased. Given how well they worked and the amount I used, I think this bag will last through many many sessions making the cost of smoking pretty much insignificant. I have not tried them on the grill yet where I like to toss some chips into the grill when cooking beef. For that I have been stuck on Mesquite but might try this type wood to see if it is even better.

We barbeque with these chips frequently and have used them for several years. The cherry wood chips are particularly good for grilling salmon. We make an aluminum foil tray about 12" x 8", poke several small holes in the foil and fold the edges to make sides. Spray the chips with water and place them on top of the foil tray, cover the grill (gas) and heat on high for about 30 minutes. Then turn the grill down to medium high, place salmon, skin side down directly on top of the chips and grill for 30 minutes covered without turning the salmon. For the salmon, we brush both sides with olive oil or other oil and sprinkle the salmon with 1 TB sugar and 1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper for four pieces. It comes out great every time and the cherry smoke makes the salmon delicious. Happy cooking!

I'm by no means a smoked-meat prodigy, but even I was able to get a nice sweet, smokey flavor with these cherry wood chips. The downside is they're fairly small chips so they don't smoke terribly long. If you don't mind tending your fire frequently and soaking and adding more chips, these are a great buy, and they taste fantastic. A tasty 4-Stars

The authors of The Barbecue Bible and also Virgil's Road Trip Barbecue... both advise that fruit wood will make both salmon and also long-term barbecue projects taste like heaven. Those authors are right. I have read that too much barbecue is carcenogenic. In rainy Seattle, there is next-to-no danger we will barbecue too much. Mother Nature might let us commence in May, and by the end of September, unless you have a shelter that is completely covered yet unwalled on all sides, it is unsafe or impossible to continue. When I used this on my salmon, which in the Pacific Northwest is almost as cheap as hamburger for most of the summer, my grown kids showed up to home as if they had time traveled. Put that salmon on the grill with fruit wood and why hello! This summer's Q was amazing, and I was surprised at how much of the bag--over half--is left. I also purchased apple wood and hickory, but for salmon, it's gotta be one of these fruit woods. Yummers! I still have enough to start me off next summer.

These chips work very well in an electric smoker like my Smokin It #2. I recommend getting a variety of woods if you do a lot of smoking. 9/12/2011 Update I bought Apple and Cherry and Mesquite chips, but mostly used chunks of Hickory, Apple and Cherry. When I dragged these out from the bottom shelf of the smoker cart, I discovered that the Apple and Cherry chips - thought to be sealed in the plastic manufacturers bag - had somehow gotten very wet. The chips were mostly altered into a white fungus - kinda looked like yogurt. Into the trash with the lot - might have passed up a chance at a brave new taste. You should probably exercise care in storage of the "sealed" bags.

These are so much better than the ones we got previously from the big box store (home depot). They lasted about a half hour longer than the other ones and had an incredible smokey taste. We will be ordering more when we run out! A GREAT value!!

I bought these to use for some softer smoke flavor than you can get with the mesquite, hickory, or pecan. The first thing I smoked with them was a few racks of cheese. The smell is just wonderful. I plan on using these with some pork, chicken, and salmon as well. My brother was convinced that all smoked foods had the same harsh flavor but after sampling food I made with these, he is regularly asking me what I am going to smoke next.

I recently purchased a Weber kettle and all the accessories including a few bags of various wood chips. These cherry chips are just perfect for ribs and other pork products but I found them to be especially good with turkey. Cherry is a nice, mild fruit smoke that isn't bitter but it does add lots of color. If you competition cook at all you want to be careful of over smoking. The Weber chip line is convenient for use in conjunction with the Smokinator accessory, saving you from having to break up chunks to fit in the holes. Overall, a great product.

These work really well when using a standard barbecue as a smoker. I used them to barbecue brisket for several hours and the flavour was awesome! If you like smoking food you must use these.

Soak nice smoke nice good price!

Fa il suo lavoro Buona fragranza sulla affumicatura

Super Rauchentwicklung, sogar bei meinem kleinen Weber Go-Anywhere Gasgrill. Der leicht süßliche Geschmack passt hervorragend zu Hühnchen! Ein Muss für jede Grillparty.

Wollte diese Räucherchips auch einmal ausprobieren. Kamen relativ rasch an und ich war überrascht, wie groß der Beutel eigentlich ist. Das ist auf dem Foto so nicht erkennbar. Was in der Beschreibung nicht stand, die Chips müssen vor Gebrauch in Wasser eingelegt werden, damit sie nicht gleich verbrennen. Getestet: Super würziger Rauch, das Essen schmeckte sehr lecker und der Beutel ist extrem ergiebig, da kann "Mann" oft grillen. Würde ich mir jederzeit wieder kaufen.
