If you want better burn times, better flavor, and better smoke, it is ready for you to fire up the smoker and show off. With these chunks, you won't have to worry about any critters or mold because they're carefully heat-treated and kiln-dried. These apple-flavored wood chunks are great for cooking ribs or pork. You'll get mellow, fruity, sweet, and often a mix of hickory, cherry, and other smokier woods.
