Excellent!!Reviewed by Amazon addict, 2009-08-29
To the person who rated this low to due getting just 1 bag...read
what you order. Very unfair to rate a product 1 star due to your
own error.
The bags are great!! So far I've only tried the alder one which
gives a lighter taste than the mesquite.
*Read the instructions WELL on the INside of the cardboard*
I bought a 4-pack of rainbow trout from [...] and rubbed kosher
salt inside the fish a couple of hours before cooking. Preheated
oven to 475F, placed 1 large cubed zucchini and the 4 fish inside
the bag, folded closed and placed on a low rack. Lowered temp to
375F after 15 min and continued for another 25-30 min (3 lbs of
fish) = perfection! My kids were crazy about eating "fish tummy"
and this couldn't have been any easier to cook or easier to clean
up.
A very light smoke lingered around the kitchen, but nothing that
I'd need to even open the windows for. If the smell is a problem,
use your bbq (instructions include oven, coal or gas grill).
Too bad the price is such a rip off...these are available for under
a buck in Finland.

I love these bags. Make the best ribs ever. I put ribs in the bag with a dry rub according to directions. After about 1 hour, I take out of oven and let sit for 30 min. Then I slit the bag down the top, add a gooey sauce and broil or BBQ to brown. Moist, delicious---everyone raves as the meat falls off the bones. The whole process takes less than 2 hours.
great trick and delicious for ribs or brisket.Reviewed by Rose Carthane, 2008-07-10
I've lived in apartments with no outdoor space for years-- but can
always get nicely smoked foods by using these bags. True, your
entire home will smell like wood smoke, but not such a bad thing
(you can always undercook a bit, take the meat out and finish it
outside the bag if you don't want a strong smell to linger). The
times for cooking and the recipes included on the inside are right
on target every time, you really can't go wrong. Makes wonderful
brisket-- I let it cool after cooking, slice it, and then add sauce
and reheat. My friends and I agree that the poultry/fish bags
aren't quite as good.
The first I tried was a similar import from William's Foods, but
they no longer carry these. Wish I could get them locally, but this
works!
EASY TO USE GREAT SMOKEY FLAVOR!!!Reviewed by C. Lipinski, 2008-03-11
I have been using these smoker bags for several years. the first time I used them I bought them from my local Cub foods grocery store. i however now just order them on line since I can get them year around. I have used them on the grill, but mostly inside in the oven. I use them mainly for smoking ribs and turkey legs. They always come out perfect. Everyone compliments me on the flavor and tenderness of the meat. I usually finish them up on the gas grill with barbeque sauce for that perfct taste. I have given these away to friends nd family and they are now using them. I would be really surprised if anyone tried them and didn't like them.

This was represented as 3 bags and was only one. I could have bought one bag at 1/3 of the price elsewhere.
