Sourced from white hickory trees, this product is resin-free and meets all federal specifications for use in inspected food establishments, making it a reliable choice for both home cooks and professional chefs. ## Description Produced only from white hickory trees and does not contain any resinous wood. This product contains very fine cut woodchips, which work same as sawdust for all Sausage Maker Brand Smokehouses. For best results, the sawdust should be slightly damp before using. Note: may weigh less than 5 lbs. because the sawdust loses moisture when it is stored. Review: A quality product, clean and mold/mildew free. - Used in my electric smoker. I use the electric smoker to prevent introducing off flavors from poor quality charcoal and I have never had a good experience with pellet smokers. But this raw/pure sawdust gives off clean smoke. This product is to fine to get good results in a traditional wood/charcoal fire smoker, but works flawlessly in electric heat element models. Review: Microwave before Using - That's the Secret! - I love this product! I use it to cold smoke raw sausage fatties (ie-Jimmy Dean), block cheese, and primo steaks prior to high heat grilling for superior flavor because it is naturally dried. The primary benefit of using the sawdust is because of the superior flavor and that it DOES NOT generate heat like pellets (or chips) do in a cold smoke generator On a warm day, like 40 degrees, I can cold smoke the sausage or cheese, without getting greasy or slightly getting cooked. Cheeses like mild cheddar, swiss, colby, jacks, and especially mozzarella.....they tend to get soft, mis-shapened, and get that greasy exterior. Not so with pellets or chips. The primary complaint of this product is that the sawdust may not burn consistently, or go out often. I have experienced this a few times and my summation is that it happens because either the air is very humid (rain/summer) or the product in not adequately dried. Regardless, it has been in my BEST EXPERIENCE to microwave the sawdust (about 1-cup for 30 seconds/2 cups for 1-minute) prior to adding to the cold smoke generator. The end result is a drier product with a smoother burn, a cooler and more consistent smoke. Gently stirring of the sawdust prior to adding to the generator guarantees the most consistent smoke for the most superior product.

I've used this for years and it is a good product. **Q: Does this produce a thin blue smoke or more of a white billowing smoke paired with the amazing maze?** A: I have a similar smoker tray, the smoke should be white (it's just hickory sawdust) - I believe blue smoke would indicate some sort of foreign material smoldering. **Q: Is this fine enough for a smoking gun or cocktail smoker?** A: I use this for smoking meat in my Masterbilt Smoker. Hope that helps. **Q: will this work as tan grass for my model railroad?** A: I used mine as a packing material for summer bulbs. I'm not a good source for other uses.

Microwave BEFORE using! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great! *by M***M on December 14, 2023* I had been ordering my sawdust from a specialty sausage making company and it was very expensive. Tried this to compare and it works great! Fast shipping and great price. Made some pepperoni and jerky and this produced plenty of smoke. Good product was worth the switch. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Sausage Maker - Hickory Sawdust for Smokers, 5 lb.
