Most retail sources will charge about 5 dollars for a couple of pounds of wood chips. Hopefully someone will know where I can get large amount of wook chips. TIA Sat Jul 01 20:14:14 -0700 2006 10686 yimster 1 1723381 When I worked in a restaurant we got our chips in bulk cases (24#) from Lazzari - don't know if they will sell direct to an individual. They are in Brisbane. Here is their website: http://www.lazzari.com/about_page04.html Sun Jul 02 04:30:03 -0700 2006 1722972 15147 mochimunchie 1 1723595 Monterey Fish in Berkeley sells lazzari chips in small bags.

Drive into their yard and go up the rickety stairs in the warehouse. They'll sell you chips, firewood, wood chunks, lump mesquite charcoal, or excellent hardwood charcoal briquettes at very low prices. --NancyB Sun Jul 02 16:39:23 -0700 2006 1722972 10644 Nancy Berry 1 1723710 Make sure whatever you buy is hardwood. I do a lot of smoking with sawdust, but the company I deal with also has a wide selection of chips and chunks in various flavors. The price is right, shipping free, service excellent. http://www.nwsmoke.com/index.html Sun Jul 02 17:16:10 -0700 2006 1722972 13387 TomG
