If you are cooking with wood only and you are having trouble lighting, cooking, or with excess smoke, then your moisture content may be too high in your wood. Green Mesquite wood will contain approximately 48% moisture and Green Hickory or Pecan Wood will contain approximately 78% moisture. Mesquite Wood is more dense than Hickory or Pecan Wood. Would should be throughly cleaned and dried before packaging to eliminate insects and excess moisture.
Chunks are about a 2" x 3" piece of wood. They are the primary product produced by a chunking machine. They go through 3 different cleaning processes.
