can I use these chips in an electric smoker?

Yes you can. I have a brinkman electric smoker. I use a small cast iron pan right on top of the burner now. In the past I just soaked them and sprinkled them around the burner on the lava rocks

I do not know. We do not have an electric smoker. Why don,t you google that question.

I honestly don't know, my smoker is for a gas range. I use it on top of my stove and it works great. Smokes the food really well; and no smoke spills out into the house. Just the wonderful smell of food cooking. I am sorry I could not be of more help.

Depends on the size of the smoker. As Barry M. said, the chips are very fine. They're designed to work with compact stovetop smokers such as the Cameron I use on my electric stove. You use only 1 to 2 tablespoons of chips at a time, and in most cases, smoke things for an hour or less. You'd run through a lot of these little chips and most likely get a very unsatisfactory result.

These are more like sawdust. I believe for using little smoker boxes. Like in a gas range.

I don't think so. I also have an outdoor smoker and you need larger, thicker pieces of wood because the smoking process is much longer than about 20 minutes. They would burn out way too fast. I don't know what size electric smoker you have, but I'm guessing it can hold a lot more than a stove top smoker - if it DID work, you'd need a LOT of these type of chips. These are shredded, not chunks. I hope this helps.

Weber or char broil brand are the ones I prefer now. Hope my rambling info helps

No, you cannot. Because the heat generated is different, and so is the "flavour" of the smoke itself.

Yes but I would not use the wood chips in the house unless you used it on the stove with a high capacity hood to get the smoke out. On the grill outside it does not make a difference. I don't use it much. I have an Egg that does a great job of smoking anything. If all you use outside is a grill, then this will work. I thought that it would be a quick alternative to the Egg, it was , but not near as good. The idea of a small chamber to concentrate flavors is good, but would take more time to learn than i care to give it.

No. Not for wood chips. Wood chips should go in a metal box close to or on top of the heating element. I use this for smoking various vegetables (try roast/smoking fresh asparagus rubbed with a little olive oil and hint garlic . . . better than what I remember about sex.) and a few other things where you want to smoke things that might fall through a normal grate. NOT good for smoking fish...the fish sticks and is nearly impossible to clean. I threw mine on an ant hill for a couple of days and let the bugs clean it. Could have put it in a fire and burned it off, but didn't want to chance warping it. Works good for strip jerky but not for ground jerky. No. Not for wood chips.

You need a smoker into which you can place wood chips like this to produce flavors in meats, poultry, fish, etc.

I don't have any problem getting smoke. I simply lay the chips in the smoke pan, which is below the water pan, and it starts to smoke when it gets to temperature. I really don't see how you could not get smoke, maybe you can give more details on how you are doing it.

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.

Hi, Shawn, No, you don't have to use the wood chips in the Masterbuilt...I've cooked many turkeys, ducks and chickens in mine without smoking them, and they come out moist and delicious! Smoking is totally optional. Good cooking! Tony

You have to use the pressed wood biscuits. They are more expensive than regular chips. Also want to warn you to research the product quality of Bradley Smokers. Mine broke after three weeks and Bradley voded my warranty because I didn't have the original box it came in. There are multiple stories online about Bradley Smokers breaking down within a couple of months.

You can buy a smoker box if you want. I suggest looking online for wood chip ideas and use heavy duty aluminum foil and wrap the wood chips, poke holes in foil also. and set them over your coals or your gas grill fie. Good luck...

Helps produce smoke by smoldering Pellets and chips. Not a heat source. Works perfectly with an electric master built so I don't ha e to load chips every 90 minutes

Yes but watch the heat. Like the other response I mix lump charcole and wood chips.great smoke flavor.

No. Wood-based chips would give you a smoky flavor. Charcoal-based briquettes could give you an odor. But this is ceramic material and it is neutral in terms of emitting any odor or flavor whatsoever. It's main purpose is to more evenly distribute heat and mitigate flame flareups.

Any pellets or chips work as long as they are not too big. The only complaint I have about this awesome smoker is the pellet loading shoot. It's retarded to say the least....but once you find your knack for using it the smoker works quite well!!! I love mine!!!!

Absolutely! Use like a regular BBQ. Smoke depends on fuel you use. I use mesquite chips for extra flavor! Enjoy!

Oh No! You have to use the small powdered chips that they sell. The one you buy from you local store are MUCH too big for the stovetop smoker.

Yes. They are perfect we have the small little smoker box and they work so well and the flavor is awesome!! Wal mart carries them as well. I found them for 4.98 for a bag at walk mart.
