Maine Grilling woods

[es1025]

I just received my reload of wood from Maine grilling woods.  I ordered the 3 pack of chunks, one black cherry, one apple, and one hickory.  The wood comes pre-cut in 3 lb. bags (will need to be cut smaller). The woods smells very fresh, I can't wait to try out this weekend.  I am thinking a little apple and hickory for some ribs.  The cost was $34.99 for the 9 lb. variety pack of my choosing. Btw, free shipping.  I did forget to mention I wanted the smokin-it cut.  I really liked the idea of trying 3 different woods.

Their wood is great, Ed.  The black cherry is really good!  I did hickory, cherry and mesquite on my last order - all excellent!

I used some apple wood this weekend. I believe this wood is better than the fruitawood. Seems to burn thru alot easier. I would recommend this company.  A bit more expensive but you dont use that much. I like the small bundles you can buy.

Good news, Ed!  I have been very happy with their wood.  I need to place another order soon!

Thanks, Ed.  I will try Maine grilling woods on my next order...have to get through the box of hickory from fruitawood first!  Might take a few months!

Just hickory, Steve?  Variety, brother, variety!  Ought to order some oak, pecan, peach, maple, ... lol.  All in the name of experimentation, of course!

I hear you!  I actually have my own cherry wood from a tree that I trimmed a few years ago, so for me it either cherry or hickory.   The next order will provide variety!

Way to go, Steve!  Variety is "The Spice of Smoking!"

I ordered the sampler pack from Maine Grilling Woods earlier this week. Comes with ten different kinds totaling 8lbs so I will keep you all updated with what I think of them.

[DivotMaker]

I'll be looking forward to your testing, Kelvin!

[kelvinator]

Alright, sampler pack is in!

[DivotMaker]

Nice!  I'd have never guessed white cedar, as I always thought cedar was a no-no for smoking.  Apparently not, I guess!

[kelvinator]

I was also under the impression that its a no go for smoking so I was also confused at why it was included. Their site says white cedar for salmon. I think white cedar comes from up north so maybe less resin? Anyways I probably will do some more research before I decide to use it and if I do I probably won't use it for anything other than salmon. I will probably email maine grilling woods and ask them about it.

[DivotMaker]

Kelvin, folks do use cedar planks under their fish on grills, so I don't know.  I'll be interested in what they tell you!

Does anybody besides smokin-it sell wood chunks that are fully pre-cut for the smokin-it so cutting is not necessary. It's not something I want to do.
