What is the difference between wood chips and wood chunks ?
A. Wood chips are very small pieces of hardwood that provide a quick burst of natural flavouring or smoke to the foods you are cooking. At Smokinlicious, we developed a rather coarse-cut, fresh (never kiln-dried) wood chip that contains no bark. As a general rule, if you plan to smoke for only a short time, or if you desire only a small amount of smoke flavour to your food, then using wood chips is ideal. Keep in mind, that many electric and gas smokers on the market today, are only designed for use with wood chips.

If you own a gas grill, then be sure to see our response to: Wood Chunks are large pieces of hardwood designed specifically for equipment that has a wood pan or drawer. At Smokinlicious, we offer two speciality cut “filets”: ‘The Single’ which consists of wood pieces 3-4″ wide that have been fileted one time for flavor release; and ‘The Double’ which consists of wood pieces of 2-3″ wide which have been fileted twice allowing for maximum flavor release.
