I found these chips in a local grocery store. Soaked two handfuls for 30 minutes in water, threw them on the charcoal grill, no nonsense smoke for about 10 minutes. I'd say they gave a medium smoke flavor with a heavy smoke scent.

The chips themselves were very rough, various shapes, and sizes ranging everywhere between 1/4 inch flakes to 2 inch long hunks. I did find a few pieces with some bark on them, but not too many.

The package is just what you see, a cardboard box stapled shut, no inner liner or plastic bag. The cardboard is the same thickness as, say, a box for cookies or crackers. Which makes for good protection on the store shelf but problematic to fold over and stay shut. I actually dumped all of mine into a gallon freezer bag.

If the pieces were more uniform and the box could close (lid) I'd give 5 stars.
