Where to buy wood chunks?

No affiliation, but in addition to Rockwood lump, Firecraft has a selection of wood chunks. I've bought a couple of the brands and cherry, apple, pecan, oak, and hickory - all have been good size. Since I'm usually ordering 6 bags of Rockwood I'm into the free shipping zone.Doug

Very nice people, FREE SHIPPING, lots of different woods. I've used the sugar maple for a lot of years. Those say chips but I order both chips and chunks.
Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers. -

You could check if your city has a local firewood supplier (mine does). It's a massive industrial lot with dozens of huge piles of various woods. Also ordered from Firecraft.

The Fruita wood chunks are beautiful, incredibly clean. Just received apple and cherry chunks, going to use some apple tomorrow.

I have been a fruitawood.com customer for serveral years. Just received a box of post oak 2x2 cut chunks. If you do not want the bark just specify in the comment section of the order.

I usually buy Weber fire spice chunks from my local hardware store. When I order from firecraft I'll get the smokeme peach chunks
the western bags at Walmart maple and cherry are cheap and good“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.”

That being said...product had very little, if any bark. Wood is very clean. Burns very nicely, creating quite a bit of smoke. Will be ordering some Oak & Hickory from them shortly... -
I have some black cherry trees that need to come down to eliminate the shade on SWMBO's garden.... bring chainsaw....

I have to take back what I said about Firecraft, so -1 on ordering chunks from them... Just on the website to order more Rockwood and it looks like they really cut back their selection of chunks and lump. Now appear to only have pellets and chips for wood choices and only Rockwood for lump.... Only Rockwood is fine with me as that's my preferred lump, but I'll be bookmarking this thread to find chunks in the future. If others find out something different regarding Firecraft's chunk wood please post!Doug

I had already checked firecraft and didn't see chunks. I wondered if I was missing something after everybody suggested them.

I get mine from Lowes or Home Depot. I can SEE what I am getting. In my experience, the shipping ends up adding too much to the purchase

Nothing wrong with bark. Couple of guys on here often use JUST the bark when hickory smoking. I cut up my own when I can, usually deadfall or prunings from oak or maple, bark and all. I don't use smoke wood all that much. When I do buy it, it's from Home Depot, once or twice from Cabelas (in store, not shipped).
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

One thing about woods, they're almost all supposed to be heat treated / kilned unless you're sourcing them from a very local place. The bugs have been killing trees like crazy......the City of STL is removing 80,000 ash trees this year because the emerald ash borer is going to kill them all anyway. The DNR and DOC in this state are really on campers and people transporting firewood--you can get in some trouble moving non-heat treated raw wood. This state used to have a TON of black walnut trees, but the price has skyrocketed due to the bug that's been killing them. Gypsy moth is another one we've been fighting for 10+ yrs.
We're coming out with RW branded smoking woods and chips in a few weeks, but it's for the STL area only. Apple, Cherry, Peach, Maple, Pecan, and Hickory......might add some more later, but that's it for now.
I've dealt with woods in the past, and from a business stand point, they need to be heat treated. Otherwise there will be mold, and they'll leave a pile of sawdust every time you pick up the bag because of the bugs. If you have quick access to it in your backyard, take it, but as far as storing it long term, transporting it, or having it inside, gotta go with the heat-treated to be safe.

out of curiosity I sent a note to Firecraft Customer service, here's the response:
"Unfortunately we no longer carry the Smoke Me BBQ wood chunks through FireCraft.
Some of my customers have been calling Smoke Me BBQ directly for availability or looking for retailers online.
I apologize for the inconvenience and hope this information helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
Thank You,"

on my tenth acre of wilderness theres sweet cherry, black cherry, apple, pear, lilac, rosemary, red and white oak,sugar maple, grape and mullberry and blueberry. short walk down the street and theres shag bark hickory, i only use the bark straight off the tree. found a post oak on conservation land, buying post oak would be cheaper than the fine for knocking it downfukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it

Seen this place off instagram. Not kiln dried wood. Www.bbqhardwood.com

Timely bump.
Went with a friend yesterday, who has an Oklahoma Joe offset cooker, to pick up some wood in SC. Place is somewhere roughly between Clover and Smyrna but I don't know if I could find it again on a bet. Turns out it's a lumber mill that you would never know was there since its back from the road in the woods. They also sell wood directly to restaurants by the pallet. Evidently a pallet is slightly less than a cord. They also sell wood chunks; pecan, cherry, peach, maple, etc.
High tech operation as you can see. To say this place is nothing fancy would be a compliment. Glad I brought the Jeep since there were some mucky areas and a rough dirt road to get back there. Anyways we decided on 40 lbs of pecan and peach and 20 lbs of cherry, which we were going to split between us. The wood was super clean; nice big chunks too. Here's the full load, trying to keep the 3 woods separated with a tarp:
Here's my half; pecan, cherry, peach, left to right:
Total 100 lbs of chunks for $170. The "shipping" cost was a quarter tank of mid-grade in the hemi for the trip from Charlotte. I've got enough to last a while but next time we go back, we'll be more prepared with containers and also get a little more since I believe there's a better price at the 50lb mark.Charlotte, NC
