Thinking about doing some Jamaica jerk chicken next weekend for a party. I normally just use apple/cherry wood. However, to have an authentic flavor, it requires some pimento wood chips. Found them online for $35 for 2 lb plus 11 shipping. If anyone used them before, is it worth it? does the flavor really enhance that much?

Do some research on the whole technique of making jerk. There is more to it than just the wood. And yes it's worth it if you want authentic jerk.
