Does it have to be compressed sawdust hardwood or can it be hardwood chunks, chips? Is there an example here on Amazon?

You can use small hardwood chunks as long as they fit into the burn chamber. You can buy these chips on Amazon or at most retailers (Walmart, Home Depot, etc.) in the grill accessory area. The hardwood chunks produce as much heat as the compressed sawdust pucks that come with the unit.

I have used hard wood chunks I got at Home Depot. They have cherry, hickory etc. I like it better than the compressed wood. Food taste better

You can use hardwood. The manual tells you which species of hardwood will work. It has to be cut in puck shaped pieces.

I don't like the compressed wood, and use chunks. They are awesome, though some may be cut a little too large, so keep a hand axe handy. Here are links to four woods on Amazon: Weber 17005 Apple Wood Chunks, 5-PoundWeber 17003 Pecan Wood Chunks, 5-PoundWeber 17056 Hickory Wood Chunks, 5-PoundWeber 17007 Cherry Wood Chunks, 5-Pound

We use the wiod chunks of varying "flavors" that you can get at Cabelas or Bass Pro Shop. The documentation also says if you have dried wood (no high sap content like pine) like orange or pecan available, you can cut it into small chunks and use them.

I have switched to chunks of Alder hardwood very successfully. Alder tends to burn faster than the Compressed logs; and for both the compressed logs and Hardwood, two small chunks burn hotter than one bigger chunk. More surface area I guess. I am also buying wax soaked compress sawdust starter pellets at the local stores.

You can use wood or charcoal. I mainly use Kingsford but have use wood chips once in awhile to add flavor

As with so many things, it depends on what kind of wood you use. It does nothave a large firebox, so requires regular feeding. Yes chips cut off a log workfine.

Not sure if it's compressed wood or solid as its painted white. It is very solid and will last. Great bed for the price.

This is just saw dust and glue. Save your money for something made of real wood. This bed is extremely fragile.

hello todd here in wichita i always get the pecan chunks from a nursery in the south end of town very reasonable. if you go to a smoke shop can be costly for a small amount of wood. i use the pecan because it is not as strong as hickory soak them for a day or two last much longer and does a better job than chips in my masterbuilt gs40.

I would not be sure but the pieces are solid wood, not chip board or other material that breaks down with moisture. It is well made even the hardware and has a sturdy finish. It was a better product than I expected. I use mine inside.Maggi

Its says Hardwood. Its very strong and will survive anything you can do to it. The only exception would be throwing it in a wood chipper.

Wood chips 1 to 2½ inches long and ¼ to ½ inch thick work best. Do not use wood chunks. Very small wood chips or shavings will burn too quickly and may not produce the desired smoke flavor.

I'm not sure, but what you are basically trying to do is make presto logs and I don't think this thing is sturdy enough for that. You would need a lot of pressure to use sawdust. If you have sawdust available, I would get an automotive press (these are basically a frame with a hydrolic jack mounted on it), they can be found easily; and get a short piece of pipe or square tubing, fashion a mold with one of these. Soak the sawdust until it's really soft, then press it into whatever shape you want and let it dry. I'm going to try this on paper.

No it's all compressed wood. Also the drawers tracks are clumsy, so good for storage not every day use.. Good luck!

It must be compressed because I know it is not real wood. It is not very heavy.

real hardwood? I am not too sure on that, but it is of high quality. It is not that cheap compressed board by any means. It also comes with a wood stainer which is the color of the wood in case you get scratches you can just fill it in with the stain pen.

Manufactured wood products. .. It is heavier duty than something from ikea, but still chips easily. ...1 year after I purchased it, the desk has numerous cosmetic imperfections.

It appears to be solid wood. It's certainly not that pre-pack sawdust and glue stuff. It's good and solid and despite there being no assembly instructions included, I still managed to put it together within 1 hour. The finish is a little thin and scratches easily, but its nothing some walnut oil can't fix. Over all, I'm very pleased with this purchase

Depends on material being shredded. Hard dry branches chip to about 1/2 inch. Greener material varies significantly.
