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 hickory-flavored wood chunks are great for cooking beef and pork. You'll get a heavy and smoky flavor like bacon, typically mixed with apple to cut through the harshness and sweeten the flavor.
