Question regarding wood chunks.

At the grocery store they have Best Choice Hickory Flavored Wood Chunks. Is this real Hickory or is it somehow flavored with Hickory?

Is there a difference in commercially sold BBQ wood or are they all the same?

Usually I prefer to buy from a local seller but in a pinch I buy chunks at the Grocery store and just recently noticed the "hickory flavor" on the label.

Thanks in advance.

Thats a good question...I havent seen wood "flavored" wood before....maybe they soak it in liquid smoke Laughing

I'd guess it's probably real hickory.

I bought the same wood chunks and was also concerned. I called the store and they left me a voicemail confirming with their supplier that they were actual hickory chunks.

Really? Flavored? There are too many other options out there to even consider this. Smile
