Camerons Products Wood Smoking Chips - Bourbon, Oak, and Map

I tried the Oak flavor on a glass of whiskey. I like a lot of smoky flavor, so I put the whiskey in a shaker and shook it up with the smoke. The chips lit very easily and the smoke flavor was really good. For smoking whiskey, the amount provided has to be a multiple-lifetime supply. Seriously, these are good sized tubs and a tiny pinch is all that is needed. It's weird saying that "too much" is a con, but smaller tubs would be easier to store.

As others have mentioned, these chips are not meant for backyard hot smokers. They're for small stovetop smokers, or, as I'm using it for, a small handheld smoking gun that blows cold smoke through a hose for cocktails and other flavoring purposes. The bourbon soaked oak is a bit strong, and leaves an odd aftertaste, at least when making smoked cocktails. But both the regular oak and the maple give a nice, mellow real smoke flavor. I've made a dozen smoked manhattans and old fashioneds, and also smoked some whitefish for cullen skink, a Scottish fish chowder. The chips burn well in my little smoking gun and output plenty of smoke for what I need. And since I only use 1/2 tsp at a time, the three pack should last me about forever. Though I do want to pick up some other flavors to experiment with.

These add great flavors to smoked meats. I got these to try some different woods and see how the flavor changes compared to mesquite, pecan and some of the things I typically use. The bourbon was delicious, as was the Maple. The oak I felt didn't do much as far as changing the flavor to a noticeable taste beyond just being smoked like the other woods did. It was interesting to try, but volume/dollar it was kind of pricey compared to local places that sell smoker supplies.

Love this! Just wrap in some foil and use in my Cameron smoker on stop top! My winter smoking hack

These fine shavings are just perfect for any STOVETOP smoker. Considering how much I paid for itty bitty tubs from a different company, these are a bargain. I have gotten into brining and then smoking, and tonight's whole skinned chicken, which I had brined with Italian seasoning and garlic, was smoked with Oak to perfection. I love how potatoes come out with the skin. These tubs will last me a while, but once I run low I will definitely be back for more! Love the flavor selection, you can really taste the difference.
