Attention Toronto Eggers - where to buy chunks?

martinhd28

Toronto brothers - are there any places to buy smoking wood chunks south of Bloor (or nearby)?

I know it's not south of Bloor, but have you checked with Dickson BBQ on Avenue? I've never been, but they're the ones who out in Toronto Eggfest each year.

check bbq's.com. they are all around the GTA if it helps . Big BBQ store

As grey_bri says, it's not south of Bloor, but if you have some time, Ontario Gas BBQ on Langstaff in Concord has just about everything you could want. I bought some chunks there last weekend.

I have been to nikola and they have a pretty good selection of stuff it's pretty expensive but they do have chunks of fruit woods that I have not seen anywhere elese

Might want to try the Healthy Butcher on Queen St. West. Their selection will be limited, but they had some chunks last time I was there. I know it's been said, but you're not going to beat Ontario Gas BBQ in Vaughan when it comes to selection.

I got pecan wood chunks last time I was in Dallas; but that may be further south of Bloor than you had in mind 

If you do get up to Vaughan you can also check out Bass Pro Shop; they have some. I've also seen them at CT and Home Hardware (in all cases just the small bags though).

If you're ever down in the Niagara area a lot of the roadside fruit places also sell fruit wood.

oh also Canadian Tire has a cheap selection of wood , usually not chunks but definitely chips .

Also check out sobies (not the grocery store )

Pantsypants, in Ottawa you can find the Maclean's boubon, rum and tequilla flavoured wood chunks. You folks in the GTA didn't clear out the CT stock this spring did you?

You'll need to be careful with that as the fruit trees were probably sprayed with chemicals.

@RGBHV haven't seen you lately, hope all is well.  Sorry you got me wondering, aren't the chemicals on/in the fruits too   Hopefully they sprayed early in the spring after pruning?
