Barbecue wood chips are usually used in smokers but, they can be used in grills to add smoky wood flavors such as maple or hickory. These wood chips come in pellets or flat chips.

For customers who have a grill and want an intense smoky flavor from the BBQ wood chips, a smoker box is the best way to do this. In order to meet the needs of grill owners and smoker owners, you have to keep a varied selection of wood chips and wood chip accessories in stock. Keep these suggestions in mind:

1. Accommodate customers who want traditional style BBQ wood chips.

2. Appeal to customers who want pellet style wood chips.

3. Provide customers using grills with the accessories they need to enjoy a smoky flavor.
