New Zealand Gourmet Wood Smoker Chips, BBQ Wood Chips for Smoking and Grilling,100% Manuka 1/4-1/2in Wood Chips, 3 Liter Bag (183cu.in.)

Perfect sized chips and amazing flavor. Kind of between a fruit wood and mesquite but without the bite of mesquite. A nice smooth smoky flavor. Soaked them in water overnight and used them the next day. They worked perfectly providing a full steady smoke throughout the entire cook.

I would prefer larger chips, but the product still provided a nice, light, sweet flavor to fish, pork and other dishes that I've prepared on my smoker.

While the smoke is good once you can get it, I found it very difficult to get a good smoke from the chips, they are far too small and then don't allow for good airflow to get them smoldering and smoking well, and once you get them smoking, the smoke is great but because of their size they don't last for very long before they are all burned up.If they could make them larger out of the same wood and make them more irregular cut to allow for better air flow to allow them to smolder at a loer temperature these would be awesome chips.

On the positive side the flavor was good, but it doesn't beat out mesquite chips or apple chips.Cons-the chips were too small for me, they burned faster and I had to keep adding Chips so the smoking would continue.The New Zealand gourmet chips were not as flavorful as I was hoping for.I was given a discount to give an honest review.

I don't use wood smoke for cooking much because my family does not really like the taste of smoked meats, but everyone loved the manuka wood - also love the smell of the unique wood smoke. It's particularly good with fish.

Wow, better than any wood smoke I've tried for fish and lamb (haven't tried other meats yet). This includes mesquite, pecan, alder & oak. This is one of those things you can't really describe, you have to try it for yourself. I'll be coming back for more!

Quick Shipping, Product exactly as described! (didn't use yet as it's winter here in NY) Chips were bought as part of a Birthday present & will not be used until at least May/June.. so I can't speak to the flavor, burn time yet.

Great flavor. Have been using them for hot smoking salmon on the Weber charcoal grill. Used the smaller chips and sprinkled a handful over the coals twice during the cook.
