What we liked

  • + Four full-size boxes of 500 cubic inches each, so the pack holds enough wood for many cooks and is more than a sampler
  • + Mesquite, hickory, pecan and post oak run from bold to mild smoke, and include the oak and pecan that fruit-wood packs leave out
  • + Listed as 100 percent natural, chemical-free hardwood cut into large chunks that burn longer than wood chips

Trade-offs

  • - No fruit woods in the box, so anyone who wants apple or cherry smoke needs to buy a separate bag
  • - Sold by volume instead of weight, and four boxes take real storage space if you only smoke a few times a year
