I have used MGW a couple of times now, and you will definitely get more wood from that order.  I just got 3 bags of cherry, apple, and mesquite from MGW that will keep me in business for quite a while!
That is so good to hear and not to mention the free shipping alone ...... considering I ordered there Mesquite , Maple , Oak , and Beechnut .

As you all know, I've always recommended Fruitawood and Maine Grilling Wood.  Nothing wrong with them, but I believe the quality of the Smokinlicious wood is head and shoulders above both of them.  No bark, and correct smoking moisture content.  No foiling, no belch, just good thin blue smoke!  When you use up your MGW, give them a try!

I just received 19 lbs of cherry wood from them and it has no bark and super clean.

I received my box of wood from Smokinlicious on Friday. I ordered White Oak, Cherry and Maple. I usually get my wood from Maine Grilling Wood so I was excited to see how it would compare. I made chicken wings with the oak and they were very good but not enough smoke flavor for me. The wood burned great. Sunday I made chicken breasts with only olive oil on them and tried the Cherry. They turned out to be the best chicken breasts ever. The smoke flavor was so good, BBQ sauce was not needed at all. I did not boat the wood like I normally do and I had no problems at all. Bottom line is I like the Smokinlicious wood better, but I will still buy Apple from MGW. Try some, you won't be sorry.

Good to know, Howard.   I have ordered a couple of times from MGW and have been happy with their wood.   I just ordered cherry, sugar maple, and mesquite, so it will be a while before I need more wood, but I may give smokinlicious a shot.

Not enough wood?  Sounds like you're otherwise happy - great!  It does burn very well.  I haven't used their oak, but the maple, hickory and cherry is fantastic.

I used about 5oz. I think I'm just used to apple. I had the leftovers for dinner last night and the time in the fridge helped them a lot. I think the oak would be perfect for shrimp. I'll be trying that this week.

I used Beech this past weekend for two slaps of Rib's , and in my opinion it was the best smoke or taste that I have had so far .

Funny how wood smoke flavor profiles are no different from our taste for rubs and sauces!  Personally, I can't stand apple smoked wood - but I'm definitely the oddball on that (it seems).  Love the other fruits, especially cherry, just not apple!  This is why wood recommendations are almost pointless; you just don't know what you like until you try it!

You are absolutely correct Tony because I am just the opposite. My favorites are Pecan, Hickory, and Mesquite. I like the Apple wood too but do not like the Cherry.

Just placed me an order of some Smokinlicious wood!  Got the 1 cu ft box with 3 types of wood.  Red oak, hickory and wild cherry.  Looking forward to giving it a try!

Thanks to all for the info!

By the way, I informed them I found out about them via this forum. Maybe they will eventually find out about SI and add them to their list of manufacturers?

They're actually updating the list soon.  Good folks, over there, and I really like this wood!  I've used the hickory, cherry and maple now, and no combustion with any of them!

I almost got sugar maple instead of Cherry. But I did send a note asking for a sample of 2 pieces of sugar maple to try. I'll let you know if they send it!  If so, that will be considered great customer service in my book!

No doubt!  You should send an email to Donna (at info@smokinlicious.com) to make sure she saw the request.  She's great!
