FAQs

Can I use these chips in a gas grill?

Yes, provided you use a dedicated smoker box to hold the chips rather than placing them directly on the metal heat tents.

Do I need to soak the wood chips before use?

Soaking is optional. Some users prefer dry chips for immediate smoke, while soaking can help prolong the burn time for longer smoking sessions.

Is the packaging waterproof?

No, the packaging is 100% recyclable paper. It is not waterproof, so you must store the bag in a dry environment.

Are these chips suitable for indoor pizza ovens?

No, these are strictly for outdoor use to ensure proper ventilation and fire safety.

How long will a 12kg bag last?

Usage depends on your cooking style and the type of grill, but 12kg is a substantial amount that should last for many grilling sessions.

Troubleshooting

Chips are producing excessive white smoke

This is often a sign of damp wood; ensure chips are stored in a completely dry area and try drying them near a heat source before use.

Chips burn up too quickly

Reduce the airflow in your smoker or grill, or try soaking the chips in water for 30 minutes before use to extend the burn time.

No smoke flavor in the food

Ensure the chips are placed close enough to the heat source to ignite and that your grill lid remains closed to keep the smoke trapped near the meat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers authentic, robust hickory smoke flavor
  • High calorific value ensures efficient fuel use
  • 100% plastic-free, recyclable packaging
  • Compatible with various wood-fired cooking equipment

Cons

  • Large 12kg format requires dedicated storage space

  • Not intended for indoor cooking use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the life of your wood chips, store the 12kg bag in a cool, dry environment, such as a garage, shed, or sealed plastic bin. Moisture is the primary enemy of wood chips, as damp wood produces excessive white smoke and burns unevenly. If using with a gas grill, place the chips inside a designated stainless steel smoker box to prevent them from catching fire and to protect your grill's burners. Avoid using wood chips directly on gas burner covers, as the ash buildup can clog the ports. Always ensure your ventilation is adequate, as these chips are designed for outdoor use only.
