I found a place in Santa Clara, but it is quite a haul. So wanted to see if anything else is closer. Thank you Thu Nov 15 13:34:42 -0800 2007 143238 mkrivenko 1 3128612 Barbeques Galore is a chain that sells most types of wood chunks people would want for smoking. They have a location in Marin, and probably one on the Peninsula north of Santa Clara.

The San Rafael location is not too far from the city assuming there's not much traffic along the Golden Gate Bridge. Both do carry apple and cherry wood chunks. Consider the oak wood chunks if you're smoking something for a really long time, like brisket.

But they have at least four types of fruit wood. Lazzari on Bayshore at Industrial near the San Francisco-Brisbane border It is hard to find but well worth it. Also a large selection of charcoal too.

It's not that hard to find -- just look for the lawn sculptures on the east side of, turn in (that's Industrial) and then turn left in to the old railroad roundhouse area that is occupied by Lazzari. Park close to the large building and then go up the rickety stairs (on the landing you'll see the different kinds of wood chunks that are available) and order the wood at the counter. Pick it up downstairs. They'll help you load it into your car if you get a lot. And, by the way, they sell REAL HARDWOOD charcoal briquets in 20 lb. bags. These are infinitely better than the lousy ones sold in the grocery store. And you can also get mesquite lump charcoal in 40 lb. bags, wood chips, and firewood for much less than you will pay in the store. http://www.lazzari.com Fri Nov 16 11:14:02 -0800 2007 3129543 10644 Nancy Berry 3 3131433 link: Fri Nov 16 11:17:07 -0800 2007 3131421 10644 Nancy Berry 4 3134095 Thanks yimster and Nancy for the Lazzari tip!!
