Looking at getting these as a gift with no personal experience. Will they work in a regular outdoor smoker like one used to make a brisket?

It depends on what you call a regular smoker, most smokers take a certain form of wood and it lets you know that when you but the smoker, however these would be quite pricey if you did them for a brisket because you would need such a large amount. These are for small jobs with and indoor smoker. I would continue to look for something else if you are looking for wood for an outdoor smoker.

Yes, that is what we used. I bought these with the outdoor smoker for my boyfriend. He loves both (smoker and smoking chips) and uses them all the time. That was last year and we still have a ton of it! He even cooked with them in -10 degree weather. I hope this helps :)

No. These are sawdust for a Cameron stovetop smoker. They wouldn't do very well in an outdoor smoker. You need wood chips and can get all types of different chips like hickory, alder, maple, apple, cherry, etc. by the bag.

I seriously doubt it--they are VERY small chips of wood and I think they are specifically made for stovetop smokers.

Hold up, there is a big difference between "chips" or "chunks" and the stuff in theses containers from Cameron. This stuff is basically powder or saw dust consistency, intended for the stove top smoker. It will burn up very quickly in a smoker or bbq and won't as much flavor or texture to the meat.

It will work but keep in mind that these are not chips but almost like dust. So, you would end up consuming more for less and end up spending more. Give them the gift of these WESTERN 80484 BBQ Smoking Chip Variety Pack (4 bags): Hickory, Cherry, Apple and Mesquite Wood Flavors. Includes Metal Reusable Smoker Tray and Instructional DVD (Discontinued by Manufacturer) instead....

these are very small chips almost like tobacco. I don't think it would work well in a BBQ.

not up to speed on the pellet making process. i would think you would have to use something to bind but i do not know that for a fact. i can tell you this they are top notch for flavor,smoke output and low ash.

I use them with a chimney of lump charcoal and put two starters in the bottom of an aluminum pan, light them, and place the chimney on top. When they're ready I dump them into the grill where I've placed 2 full chimney's of unlit lump charcoal. I've not had a problem with these leaving any waxy residue, they burn up and remain this strange little shell almost like Styrofoam. If you light the charcoal with them right in your grill, they will end up being completely burned up, you'll not know they were in there. I swear by these and will never use anything else, they are amazing little cubes!

I use these chips in my electric smoker (outdoors). The smoker has an electric grill in it. If you plan to use the chips on an extricate grill, do it outdoors. These can be used in BBQ grills also. Enjoy.

They are smokeless on their own. But, if you're using it for lighting lump/briquette charcoal, you're gonna get smoke.

I use the Kingsford competition briquettes. They work great. I strongly discourage using lump charcoal for this device. It burns VERY hot and VERY quickly... sort of the opposite of what you are trying to accomplish with a smoker setup.

Should not be an issue. As long as the heat is coming from the bottom of the smoker, it should work great.

I have not used these on a BBQ grill so I am not sure if they would work. It might be worth a try, just soak them first.

You can use the chips, however, you may want to grind them down to almost saw dust which works perfectly with this smoker. Saw dust might be a little harsh but you don't want them to be chunky!

These are chamber probes not food probes but you should still be able to push these into a brisket even with a blunt tip if not create a hole with your meat thermometer and then insert the chamber probe. If you still can't then buy the correct food probes or find a different butcher if your meat is that tough.

Probably so as long as the dimensions are OK. The tube smoker only puts out smoke and not heat. Put whatever chips/pellets in the tube.

I have never worked with a stove top smoker from what I've seen the stove top smoker chips are smaller then the standard wood chips I'm sure you could use them you would just ha email to put less in.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that. We use these strictly in our home wood burning stove, not in a BBQ.

Yes, it will work with a propane smoker, you just have to keep the temp low to keep from buring up your pellets too fast.These work great for cold smoking, and Todd sells a great product. http://www.amazenproducts.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=AMNPS5X8

I do not see why it would not work. You will just need to remember which probe is in the 'smoker' port.

Sorry for the late response but they will add a small amount of flavor, if you really want more smoke then check out a smoke daddy or what I actually prefer the AMNTS it is EXTREMELY easy to use and much cheaper and you don't have to modify your grill in any way. Check out the AMNTS and that will give you all of the smoke flavor that you truly seek! I can tell you that it will be hard to tell if it came from an offset smoker or a pellet grill, the flavor will be amazing!!!!
