Gourmet Wood Smoking Chips

Using wood chips is an easy and effective way to add gourmet flavor to your grilled foods! Choose between Maple, Cherry, or Apple flavors! Each box weighs approximately 11/2 pounds.
Did you know that your barbecue grill can also be used as a smoker by adding aromatic wood chips and a smoker box? Soaking wood chips in wine or water for at least 20 minutes, and then mixing them in a smoke box with equal parts of dry wood chips is a great way to add flavor to chicken, ribs, roasts or anything that cooks longer than 20 minutes. Use only dry chips in the smoke box when you are grilling steaks, fish or anything that requires a short cooking time to maximize the smoked flavor. It is also a great idea to place a pan of water on the grill, especially during long periods of smoking, as it will maintain lower cooking temperatures and help to keep your foods moist.
You will get a more intense smoked flavor and more tender meats if you smoke at low temperatures (between 200 and 250F) and at longer cooking times. Be sure to cook your meats safely and use a meat thermometer to ensure that it is cooked through to a safe temperature. You should not be afraid to mix your smoking chips to create a flavor that suits your preference.
