Are smokehouse chicken strips safe?

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I returned these when I learned fron CNN that there was a recall on chicken strip treats made in China (Oct., 2013) Dogs were being reported dying.. Apparently the FDA "thinks that they are contaminated with Listeria, but the government works slow to be absolutely sure. I don't think they can link it yet, but Petco's CEO was on TV two days ago (5-21-14), and said they were pulling most of their chicken treats made from China. Think about it--chicken products made in China. My dogs loved these treats but it is not worth it.

i have been giving them to my current dogs for years, as well as two other puppies for many years of their lives. they love them and have had no ill side effects. i hope this helps

I will not buy them again as they are made in China. They are not 100% natural as they say, they have wheat flour in them. Lab tested in the US does not make them safe.

Yes... our dog loves them and has ever since we discovered them a couple of years ago.

I don't know about strips, but the chips have been fine for our dog. 12 pounds

We have been feeding the chips as treats, 1 or 2 daily for 5 or 6 years now and have stayed with the same brand thru Amazon.

In my experience no. The window hazes over quickly anyway from the smoke. I cook with a remote probe thermometer so seeing the meat is really no benefit anyway.

Not without some modifications. The grill racks slide into brackets that insert into a row of holes along the sides of the smoker. You might be able to rig some horizontal rods to rest on those same brackets.Also, the temp control is rudimentary at best. I am not sure that you would not damage delicate meats such as fish.

I don't know if they are safe but I would think twice about buying them. I couldn't use them and threw them away because they would not stand upright when there was a taco in them. Totally useless.

These were a present for my son, so I haven't used them. Since smoking is usually at fairly low temperatures, I am assuming that being close to the meat or even bumping it wouldn't burn the skin.

Absolutely not to be used indoors. Not only a very smokey process, but use indoors is dangerous.

I sure it would. I've never done chicken with them, but I will never use anything but this shredder on my pork butts. It is fantastic! No doubt it will work fine.

I always add extra liquid like chicken or beef broth to prevent the drippings from burning. The gravy is always good

I have no idea. I use the plate very often and have no ill effects so I assume its perfectly safe. Glad I bought it.

The other answers are good and point out some nice details to consider. It is not recommended to habitually lick these strips. The compounds bound to the strip are not super toxic but they are not really good for you either. We recommend not putting the strips on your tongue as a regular thing.

I have never used the strips. But the frame is fairly light weight. I'd hate to misinform you.

NEVER use any wood chopping block for poultry, meats or fish as you will absolutly have cross contamination! Do not go there, ever!Hd polyethene is the only way to go, along with lots of hot water and bleach between different meats, especially poultry!

Yes, we've used it on our charcoal grill to bake potatoes and whole chicken, we have a smoker attachment on the side of the grill so we've cooked and smoked chicken on our grill using rotisserie.

I haven't tried that. I smoked 2 whole chickens and left the probe in the slightly larger chicken.

It will not cause bodily harm or death, That is my idea of safe. If blowing greasy smoke all over your kitchen is you idea of not safe, then it is NOT SAFE.

Goodness NO! It's not "Smokeless"! There is no 'ventilation' of any kind provided with this grill. If you're going to cook anything that gives off a lot of smoke you most assuredly will need to use an exhaust hood or whatever keeps your smoke alarms from going off. That said ... I've never had an issue with alarms going off while cooking : burgers, steak, chicken, salmon, hot dogs, etc etc etc. I'd guess that you don't realize with this type of a grill, the grease runs off. Meaning the food doesn't sit in burning (and smoking) hot grease, the way it does in a pan.

No you can't use the grill inside.To much smoke when cooking will cause your smoke alarm to ring. The weight limit varies. The manuel states 2 whole 1/2-3 lbs.,turkey whole 8-12 lbs. I don't know I have tried 1 whole chicken. I found when it's too much weigth the rotisserie drops. I might have done something wrong. I hope this helps.
