Best wood Chunks / Chips

Depends on what you are cooking. I like fruit woods for pork and poultry and oak or pecan for beef. Rockwood makes some quality chips and chunks.

Frutia smoking wood.

Google it.

Best I have ever used.

Agree.  I got their post oak and apple chunks and both were quality.

I use pecan and peach primarily. When you open their box of peach, the aroma is incredible. I use peach for pork.

The pecan is awesome. I use it mostly on beef or lamb. What a flavor. Did a brisket the past weekend, it is worth it just to smell the smoke while cooking.

Fruita is great, the only place I shop from. The post oak is my go to.

Just saying weber brand chunks seem pretty good to me! I also bought a case of peach chunks from Rockwood they’re good too! Can’t get peach chunks that easy also heard good things of fruita but no personal experience 

Haven’t used Fruita. I have used the Rockwood chunks and they are the best I have used. I appreciate that it’s kiln dried as I used to buy local wood until the termites got to it in my garage. I like the size of their chunks. It’d call it a good sized nugget. It’s well sized for use in the smaller eggs. 

I've got a whole peach tree that came out of my dads yard. Broke it down into manageable pieces. Next step is to split it and cut it into chunks. I'm excited to try it!

does Bert still own the place or did he sell it?

the last I heard, Bert still owns it. He was trying to sell it, but I don't think he found a suitable buyer.  He has quite a store - anyone in the Grand Junction, CO, area should stop in and see his operation.  Bert is a great guy and very helpful.

Local hardwood, Throw it in a chipper.  It's wood. Don't overthink it.

A garage full of termites will definitely make you think about it.

You don’t know what to look for.

Is Fruita Wood Chunks still in business?  The above link doesn't work, nor does fruitawoodchunks.com/, nor anything that teh googlez gives me...

Hmm.  Carey, your link did work for me; @Shiff, yours didn't, I get "Safari can't find the server", as I did on my other attempts.  

I see they sell bourbon and wine barrel chunks.  Would those make a difference in the flavor profile or are they just gimmicks?
