This is my FAVORITE Camerons' wood chip product thus far - superb rich flavor on this one for just about any kind of meat. This is NOT a tub of sawdust as some critics state, I seriously believe the younger generation just isn't reading about what they're ordering and they're expecting a gallon tub of outdoor wood chips for outdoor smokers to be delivered - can't imagine any other reason to leave a negative review for any of Camerons' smoker chips.
These are specifically designed for stove top indoor smokers and this is a one pint tub, if you understand that, then you will be okay with buying this. The wood chips aren't "sawdust" as critics claim, they're small slivers of wood more akin to a bunch of broken toothpicks, but clearly they are splintered and seasoned wood and nothing else. They have to be that small to fit in the stove top smokers, and they work perfectly for that purpose. ALL of Camerons' flavors are good, but this one, I think, is the richest we've tried thus far and I will be buying more. Gave the meat a seriously rich flavor that rivaled anything you could've gotten by smoking outdoors on a full-size smoker. 100% recommend these if you've got a stove top smoker and you realize what size a pint is!

These have an excellent flavor and are exactly what I expected. The negative reviews on all of Camerons' stove top wood chips HAVE to have been written by (no offense) younger folks who simply don't read the details or don't know anything about sizing. This is a pint - they give you a pint. They aren't "sawdust" as you see in so many negative reviews, they are small wooden splinters, much more akin to a bunch of broken up toothpicks - little slivers of wood, but clearly, splintered wood and not "sawdust." And, just for the common sense of it, they have to be this way to fit properly in the indoor stove top smokers - they work great, leave a fantastic flavor, and I'd highly recommend the pecan and several other flavors as well - there's nothing wrong with this product, I just think some people have no idea what they're buying.

I wanted to try these stove top chips before investing in a stove top smoker. I got a very heavy disposable foil pan and put 2 tablespoons of chips on the bottom, at the sides of the pan. Then I put my rack in with marinated salmon on top. The salmon filets were in the middle of the rack so they would not drip on the chips. I covered the pan tightly with heavy duty foil. I did turn on the stove fan, but found that it wasn't necessary at all. There was no smoke escaping from the pan. I turned the burner on very low and the fish was done to perfection in 10 minutes. It had a terrific hickory flavor, and it was moist and tender.
CAUTION!!! I have since read that using a foil pan on a gas burner is not safe because the fire can burn through the bottom of the pan. Since I had a very low flame and a thick pan this did not happen, but I will not do this again!
I tried this with a deep cast iron skillet and a cast iron dutch oven, both with racks in them, and cast iron lids. Perfect! I'm sure any oven safe stainless steel skillet would work too. I would not use a non-stick pan though, the heat may get too high and I'm not sure about toxic fumes. I read that the heat can get over 350 degrees in a covered pan.
Hickory is a strong smoke and is more suitable for beef, pork and chicken. I will be purchasing the milder alder or apple chips for future fish preparation. The book Smokin' has good recipes, but I really more appreciated the detailed smoking times information for each food, and the suggested smoking chip flavors for each food. I had never thought of smoking garlic bread or pizza sauce either! Great book.Smokin': Recipes for Smoking Ribs, Salmon, Chicken, Mozzarella, and More with Your Stovetop Smoker
Just a reminder, these stove top chips are really more the consistency of saw dust. This is so they will start smoking quickly when heated. They only smoke for about 20 minutes since that is all that is needed to impart the smoky flavor. The "low and slow" cooking comes when you put the food in the oven to finish cooking. For example, ribs or pulled pork. These chips would burn up too quickly on an outside grill. For that you would need the large chunks of wood. Whatever your method, smoke really adds terrific flavor to food, including vegetables, and it sure is fun to experiment!
UPDATE: 7/3/17 I now own three smokers. Nordicware (for large things like whole chickens), and both the large and small Cameron's smokers. No more messing around with DIY smoking methods! Smoked garlic bread...holey smokes!

I have recently started cooking with Cameron's stove top smoker, and have been very happy with the results. I have used the apple chips for pork, and have combined them with alder for salmon, with excellent results. It takes just a tablespoon or two to impart a smokey flavor to food. Although it is a small container, the product will last for a long time because so little is used. The salmon has been moist, and filled with flavor each time. The pork reminds me of North Carolina BBQ which I dearly miss. Happy cooking!
Perfect. I have the Nordic Ware 365 Kettle, but this should work for other indoor smokers as well. You only need one to two tablespoons each session so this container will last a long time. I chose Hickory because it is the best all around wood for most meats that we smoke. And vegetables for that matter. Food always tastes like it's from our favorite bbq restaurant. ;) 5 stars to Camerons Products.
