Sources for wood chips/sawdust, (in the U.S.), for the Pro Q

[tommix]

Does anyone have a good source for chips/sawdust that would work in the Pro Q csg? I have been using hickory sawdust but would like to try some different woods.

Thanks...........Tim

Go to this place. Dust is good.

I ordered some dust from smokinlicous who is the US supplier for the ProQ and its wont burn right. It wont stay lit. Drove me nuts. Even after a email from the person on this site that sells the ProQ Smokin still never sent me replacement dust.

Stick with Amazin.

I had trouble with everyone's dust now and then, I find a couple minutes in the microwave to pull the moisture out of it makes them all burn nice

Yes, Todd is a good guy.

As far as wood varieties go, hickory is the favorite for me for hams or bacon because it brings back such fond memories of my childhood when my Grandparents cure and smoked hams and bacon.

Other favorites:

Apple (Real good, great for almost anything)
Oak
Cherry
Pecan
Alder
Pear
Maple (I like it for BBQing, not so much for other stuff)

Just another tip but if you if you want free dust. Ask around and find a furniture maker or a hobbist that uses a planer you can get loads of dust. It may not be "certified food grade" but there is no oil on dust leaving a planer. I do this and but for some of the more common woods I get it by trading sausages to a fella that works in a hardwood sawmill.
