Side by Side Comparison of: Weber vs Tedu

Used this to smoke some ribs last weekend, I soaked them in water for about 30 minutes so they burn slower. They work, burn, and smoke as expected. Quality from Weber, thank you

I love these wood chips. Pecan and Beech are my favorite. These 2 give anything I have smoked in my electric smoker Masterbuilt 20070115 Bluetooth Smart Digital Electric Smoker, 40-Incha wonderful flavor but not as strong tasting as mesquite.

I had tried all of the types of chips that weber sells (pecan, mesquite, hickory, cherry, and apple). Of these I only disliked the mesquite; it had a slight bitter taste (which is to be expected from mesquite).While the flavors were not extremely pronounced I could distinctly taste each of the flavors.I've smoked pork loins and beef brisket using these chips, each turned out great (even the mesquite).

I recently started using wood chips in a smoker box to get a good smoked flavor with my gas grill. I'm sure that there are several good brands of wood chips, but I find the Weber chips work really well in my smoker box. The "chips" are the right size to generate smoke easily without their catching on fire and burning up. There's a variety of sizes and shapes in each bag, so the smaller, thinner ones start smoking first, but then the bigger chunks start smoking later. This keeps them smoking over an extended period of time.The Weber package is 3 pounds which gives plenty of chips for lots of meals. At this price, I can also buy a few other varieties (apple, hickory, cherry) so I'm not stuck with one.If you're not sure what variety of wood chips to get, you can't go wrong with Pecan for chicken, fish, salmon, or pork. Pecan has a slightly sweet smoke, but more subtle than apple or cherry. If I want to play it safe and be sure I'll like the result, I use the pecan chips. If I'm feeling a little more experimental, I mix pecan with apple or cherry. You really can't go wrong with any of these.

I bought these to use for some softer smoke flavor than you can get with the mesquite, hickory, or pecan. The first thing I smoked with them was a few racks of cheese. The smell is just wonderful. I plan on using these with some pork, chicken, and salmon as well.My brother was convinced that all smoked foods had the same harsh flavor but after sampling food I made with these, he is regularly asking me what I am going to smoke next.

I've been using this product for 6 years now. Here's what I've found. First off, I've also tried Cherry,pecan,hickory, & Mesquite. I favor the Apple. I've found that soaking about 30.min. or so in cool clean water yields the most flavor. Yes, I've tried without soaking and they burn too quick and flavor is slightly off (less). Soaking for 30.min. does get the outside of chips enough moisture to present the controlled burn to properly smoke. I have a Weber Summit 9 burner gas grill with a built-in Smoker box. I regularly smoke the following; Fish,Chicken,Pork,Corn,Zucchini, Shrimp, Clams, (Yes,Clams!). The only Red meat I'll smoke is Beef Burgers and never use the Apple, I prefer Hickory or Mesquite for that. If you care to know, I never cook as i smoke. I always smoke the food at hand ,RAW. I found that i get 2x the flavor if i lay food on the grill, raised a bit ,to be closer to the smoke. If you never smoked the meat,veg RAW, i highly advise it. You'll never go back! I let it smoke about 20 min or so,then cook. With this apple I've gotten my neighbor, who doesn't like fish or clams to try and like both. Love these Chips!! Go through 4 bags a season. Smoke on !!

PERFECT if you make pulled pork or chicken. Easy to use even for arthritic hands. Clean up is a breeze. Just put in dishwasher and it does great. I even bought one for my brother the "grill master" of the family. He is happy with them as well.

These are great! I'd previously bought a pair as a gift for someone, but after seeing them in person decided I needed to get some for my own kitchen. I'm a busy mom and love to slow-cook chicken to shred for sandwiches, tacos, enchiladas, sweet & sour...you name it. These meat claws really cut down the time and effort needed to transform a large piece of meat into a large pile of shredded deliciousness.A bonus function I didn't anticipate was that using these claws makes it so easy to move or turn a large piece of meat in the pan, dutch oven, etc. What I was once precariously doing with two sets of tongs or long-handled forks...is now super easy and intuitive. Watch your fingers over hot cooking surfaces though. Some photos show using them over a grill. Seems like a nice idea, but I would absolutely NOT do this.Solid (plastic? nylon?), sturdy, heat-resistant, and dishwasher-safe (although I'll probably usually hand-wash in case it help prolong their life). Note that the underside of the handles isn't solid, it's a gridwork of holes which can catch food and debris -- but this uses less material/cheaper to manufacture, plus it keeps them light in the hand. Win-win.Having only used forks to shred meat before, I struggled a little with these until I found my rhythm. I find it easiest to hold the meat down with one claw and use other to shred. (This may be intuitive to some, but I was silly and tired myself out trying to move both claws at once!)There are LOTS of these meat claws out there, but I specifically like these ones offered by Tedu because THEY DO NOT CARRY A BRAND OR LOGO while most others do. I ordered these at a discount in exchange for my honest review.

I love smoking briskets, pork butts, shoulders, etc. Typically when I smoke meats its for game day / birthdays / weekend parties / and more. These claws not only make moving the meat around much easier, I no longer have to sit at the table with two forks and pull apart the meat. I can slap on these bear claws and go to mow-town on tearing apart that meat. As a guy who wears XXL gloves, I can use these just fine. They are made of high quality plastic that feels extremely solid. I use these heavily and have not experienced any issue with them at all. These pierce meat just fine and can tear through even some of the toughest meats with ease!I was provided a sample for review and I do not promise a good rating in return, nor am I affiliated with this company or compensated in any way. I am just a regular Amazon customer who shops a lot on Amazon.

I purchased these for my hubby who is an avid griller and smoker cooker. We love BBQ pulled pork and trust when i say we have tried everything to shred the pork for sandwiches. These take using forks to a whole new level. These are very sturdy plastic. They fit very comfortably in my hands as well as my husbands. They shred the pork with ease it did not take tons of effort. And this best part hot soap water and they clean up perfect and simply. We love these and highly recommend them to any fan of BBQ. I did receive this product at a discount for a honest and unbiased review.

Tedu Bear Claw,Pulled Pork Shredder Claws, These were amazing. They worked very well for shredding our BBQ Pork. Easy to hold on to, and use.Also, because of the finish on them, they cleaned up nicely. I received this product at a discounted price, in exchange for my fair and unbiased opinion.

I was a little worried when I first placed my order as this was the least inexpensive of the chips. I really like the way the smoke flavors the wood and I don't feel like I have to break the bank and buy some esoteric wood to get great smoke.

provides great flavor

Bought these wood chips in different woods and flavors for my new smoker and I have to say that they worked out pretty well. I believe that they were add-on items and were at a good price. They were easy to use and burned completely and steadily. Adds a lot of flavor to the taste of the meat and I will be buying more in the future.

This was purchased as part of an add on deal through amazon. I have to say i was really happy with the wood. I had never smoked with apple wood before and I really liked the taste/ I do not know if it is brand specific as i have continued to use Weber but I can tell you i use apple wood a lot more than i did before. I tried to use some natural apple one time and it was not quite as sweet i think it was due to the bark so for me its not worth the trouble of taking the bark off, just to easy to buy the chips.

these are a little large for my electric smoker. not all chips are large, but definitely could be smaller chips. I think these are more designed for those who use a propane smoker instead, they still work but not all chips get fully smoked, some only 1/2 way. Either way was a deal for the price, as it was an add on pricing, so can't complain too much. My fish that I am smoking with these tastes awesome!

Have only used on pork (roast, ribs and chops) but the flavor is great. Compliments every time. My only complaint is that when used in a smoke box or in foil in a propane grill they don't seem to give off a lot of smoke. Instead what I've done is only used them in my charcoal grill and placed them directly on top of the hot coals. When added directly to the coals they burn great giving off a lot of smoke. If you are going to use with a gas grill or smoker and not burn the chips directly, you may not get as much smoke as you want.

I've seen these products around for quite awhile but never gotten a chance to try them out. When I was given a chance to purchase these products at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion I knew it was an opportunity I couldn't pass up. I love to do barbecue and making pulled pork is one of the more time consuming tasks I most often complete.Enter these products. The set of claws are surprisingly hard and sharp for being made out of plastic. Slipping my fingers through the handles I was impressed with how natural the claws felt in my hands. They made short work of a pork tenderloin I had just pulled from the smoker, giving me some time to enjoy a beer before my guests arrived.These claws are dishwasher-safe, but I don't have a dishwasher so I had to wash them by hand. Due to the fact that the backside of them is not one solid smooth piece (see pictures) it was almost impossible to clean the corners inside the handles. It would be much better if the handles were a completely solid piece of plastic. I would love a chance to get my hands on a solid stainless steel or cast aluminum set of these claws, not just in the kitchen, but for crime fighting as well.

Tedu grill claws are the perfect gift for the Grill master and kitchen tool for mixing up salads. These meat claws are a lifesaver when shredding pulled pork. They are 10 times easier than using a fork. I also used them to lift the meat from the smoker. This worked much better than meat forks. They are easy to clean you can put them in the dishwasher or clean them by hand with soap and warm water. They are make from a heavy duty BPA free nylon plastic. They are shipped internationally and it does take about two weeks to get them.Disclosure: I received this product at a discount to review in exchange for an honest unbiased opinion

It's wood

used a few pieces for stove top smoking and it worked well...i discovered that i don't like mesquite flavored meat

good stuff, small bag

I much prefer the Char Broil chips. they are larger than this ground up crap. I guess it is a matter of what you are used to, but when I smoke in my Weber kettle grill, I prefer the larger chips, this mix of 1/4 inch chips and slivers mixed with larger chips burns out too fast even after soaking with water.

I like apple wood, but if you are serious smoker, I would recommend the chunks over the chips. I went through this entire bag in 5hours. The wood chunks burn much slower. I used a smokenator in my Weber charcoal grill.

Some of the chips have a dried up yellow wood mold on them. Not really what I want to be smoking.

These did not work for me, they were too small and burned to quickly, causing me to have to replace to frequently to keep smoke. I recommend the larger chunks.

Ordered the 3-lb bag of Weber Applewood chips. Seemed light when it arrived, so weighed and it was just 1 lb. 15 oz!! BUYER BEWARE. You WILL get the applewood chips, but not the 3 lbs that is advertised!!

Apple wood my eye. This is the second time using these wood chip and they sucks. It has a very strong natural wood smell and no favor on your food just and over powering god awful smell.

Disappointed not much of an apple taste I have had much better apple wood

This is a good quality wood, though there are a few bark chips throughout. However, being advertised as chips a large majority of them are actually more like shavings--very small pieces 1/4 inch in diameter or less. Not very useful for smoking, as they burn up in a few seconds and only produce a tiny bit of smoke. I also purchased the bag of hickory chips and they are much more uniform in size, with the majority being about one inch in size.

As these heated up in the grill, there was a faint odor like napthalene (moth balls). I've cooked three times with these and cannot taste any mesquite flavor in the slightest. Waste of time and money.

to high over priced

Skip the mesquite. Get cherry or hickory.

Don't like the flavor at all.

Great, but only $3 bucks at my grocery store

Did not flavor meat as well as I was hoping

Buy local. Wood is wood.
