Since the creation of our new custom smoker and the start of summer, many of our readers and fans have been asking us where we get our wood from.  Although we do get most of what we need right in our back yard, we know that many of you do not have that luxury.  Rocky Trail Outfittersis one of the best places we have seen to get wood online and have it shipped to you.  They have a full line of products ranging from smoking chips for the charcoal smoker all they way up to full logs for your full size custom smokers.  They also have an outstanding line of flavors such as Olive, Hickory, Alder, Wild Apple, Oak, and many more.  Here is a quick guide to their product lineup and how to use them:

Smoking Chips: Great for your backyard charcoal smoker.  Soak the chips for about an hour or two and add to your smoker.  Soaking them will help them burn slowly and add great flavor to your meat.  I usually rotate smoking chips and charcoal on the half hour.  The smoking chips also work well on propane and charcoal grills.  If using the propane grill though, be sure to get the Stainless Smoker Box.

Smoking Chunks:  Great for every grill or smoker that you have.  I have used these in every smoker but what I like best about them is they also work on the propane grill.  You can soak these for 2 – 3 hours and just sit them on the grill.  They start to smoke pretty quick and take a long time to burn through added great flavor to fish, pork, chicken, or anything else you got on there.

Patio Fireplace Logs:  Don’t let the name fool you as this product can easily be used in a full size smoker that only burns wood.  No soaking is required.  However, it could get pricey if you plan on smoking using only this method for 12 hours or longer.

Overall I am impressed with this product line.  I have been using the above mentioned for the past month now and have yet to be dissapointed.  For more information go to: http://www.rockytrail.com/smoking-chips-and-chunks.aspx and keep smoking.
