Smoak Firewood Cooking Wood Mini Splits - USDA Certified Kiln Dried (8in Pieces, 25-30lbs) White Oak for Pizza Oven, Grilling, Smoking Wood

These wood pieces were exactly as described. 8 inch mini splits, and they were all equal size, no huge pieces, no small pieces, it made fire management incredibly easy. The wood was kiln dried, and all I had to do was keep a few splits at the back of my fire box away from the flame (to warm them up) as I tended the fire and added fresh wood. I have never found it easier to manage my temperature. I was able to keep steady temperatures at 225°, 250°, and 275°. Even though these wood splits are on the pricey side, to me, I felt the burning quality, the flavor,and the smoke, was worth every penny. I will be buying more of these in the future!!

We got this strictly for making wood fired pizza. The smell of the wood is glorious. It burns so hot that I thought it was going to melt my pizza oven but of course it didn’t. The aroma of the burning wood and the flavor it creates on the pizza are both divine.

Unfortunately, I don't have a good local source of wood for my offset firebox BBQ, so I can't really comment on value. But this wood is seasoned nicely and burns clean. My only knock is that some of the pieces are larger than I'd like and I have to split them down.

Great wood

We ordered the 12 inch cherry wood and use it for our outdoor fireplace. It lights quickly, and it's especially considerate that they included some small kindling for the starter. The aroma around the fire is so enjoyable and we even used it to make s'mores with our grandchildren. They said this wood made them taste better than the fires they had used before. That's enough of a recommendation for me.

Screw the price, it’s good stuff. Only problem I have is I need to split it because the door on my smoker is smaller. I use white oak, cherry and hickory and it all burns nice and gives me the flavor profile I’m looking for.

The wood is clean and dry. The addition of kindling along with the fire starters is great. I didn’t get these last year. I bought the 16-inch logs though. I had no problems at all getting these to light and I know they won’t compromise my wood burning stove. Oak burns hot and long. Perfect.

This is a review of the "tiny pizza wood," which I purchased for use in my Ooni Karu. The price point is pretty decent for pre-cut wood, and you get a nice large box cut down into 6" strips, just as promised. I'm not an expert on wood, so I can't say whether or not I actually received the white oak I ordered, but the wood seems quite hard and burns similarly to other oak -- I think it's the real deal.I'm subtracting a couple of stars because I feel that although the lengths of the sticks are perfect, and the widths are okay -- in the 1" to 2" range -- the thickness is not enough, at just 1/4" to 1/2" for most of the sticks. This means that they burn on the hot and fast side, making it very tough to control the heat level inside of the oven, especially given that the Ooni's fuel chamber is quite small. Once it gets going, a fill up lasts maybe five minutes, and the flames can get a touch too intense. I'm not the fastest when it comes to opening dough balls or topping a pizza, so if I run outside, fill up the Ooni with these sticks, and get to stretching, by the time I'm ready to launch the flames are gone. Or if I fill it up right before putting the cheese on or whatever and not quite enough time has elapsed, I wind up with too much heat and a singed crust. Timing can be tricky.It would be great to see another version of this product in a similar length, but cut significantly thicker. (Think Jenga pieces.) Another option would be more of a "chunk" style -- both shorter and thicker, more of a cube shape.Bottom line, I feel that the value is okay for this product and I got what I paid for, but I'm not really happy for my particular use case. YMMV on this one.
