Default Bulk smoker chips
Does anyone know of a place where a fella could buy smoking wood chips/chunks in bulk? Mainly mesquite and hickory as they are by far my favorite smoke flavour. Just trying to avoid buying the small bags. If there is a place in southern alberta that you know of pass the info on please

Do you guys find different brands of chips produce better/worse smoke?

I moved from a Bradley to a MasterBuilt. I love the capacity of the MasterBuilt but haven't been able to get as much smoke flavour as I did with the Bradley. Been using True North chips from Peavey Mart so far and will try and change it up.

Might try the pellets for the Louisiana on batt's suggestion.

Buy a pellet tube from aliexpress for like $15. They work great. Nice even smoke and runs for 6 hours.

I use a pellet tube for cold smoking, and I prefer chunks for the ugly drum. So yeah, I'd take any hints of bulk guys in Edmonton area. I have some hickory and mesquite. I'd like to try pecan and cherry and???

I am amazed you can't get diamond willow or Box Alder chips or pucks. Diamond willow is excellent for smoking fish and birds. Alder is great for meats.
