Chips Smoking
Smoker chips are small pieces of wood that let you create quick smoky fires. Chips are useful when you do not use smoking grills for quite some time or if you only want a little smoke flavor. Even when the chips are soaked in water they can burn quite quickly. The best way to use smoker chips is to ensure that you have read the instruction manual of your smoker since they might specify how to use these wood chips. There are different electric smoker wood chips and gas smoker wood chips and it is best to find out which one works best for your specific smoker.
Gourmet cooks use the technique of wood grilling quite often. They consider that with hickory wood chips smokers get the best benefit since hickory is considered the king of smoking woods. It burns with a strong sweet aroma and can also be compatibly combined with other woods like pear, plum, apple wood etc. Hickory chips also suit all types of smoking in barbecue grilling and particularly for ribs and pork. Mesquite is also a popular wood used for smoker chips. Interestingly, this wood is sweet, strong and burns with a smoke flavor that smells like bacon. If you are cooking beef, ham and pork, mesquite is perfect.
Alder wood chips for smokers produce a nice delicate flavor that is mildly sweet. It is suitable to be used for cooking food such as fish, poultry, pork, game birds, etc. Companies that sell smoker chips offer sample sets. These are made out of natural smoking woods that can infuse tasty flavors to your meals. They blend special woods to make these smoker chips. Some of the woods used are fine shavings of hickory, maple, alder, oaks, cherry and ash.
The smoker wood chips must be soaked for at least half an hour before you use them. What will you soak them in? You can use water, juice, whiskey, beer, wine, etc. Then they must be drained and placed in the smoker box. You can also place them on an even aluminum foil. Later you can use them by adding them to the briquettes or under the cooking grate. The chips will heat up and produce smoke that will flavor your food. You can use them as gas smoker wood chips.
If you are using them in a wood or charcoal smoker, no need to soak them before use. Some smokers will only take wood chips, so you will need to make sure that you get the right gas smoker wood chips or electric smoker wood chips.
These days, most grill manufacturers realize that people enjoy using smokers, so they have begun to add a smoking drawer to the grilling equipment they sell. These drawers are for holding the soaked wood chips so that at the time of grilling, the food can also get the smoke flavor. But there is no need to worry if your barbecue grilling equipment does not have this drawer. You can simply add the wood chips to your outdoor cooking equipment by placing the soaked wood chips on an aluminum foil.
Hardwood smoker chips are best for adding that smoke flavor to meats, poultry and fish. This wood must be resin free. The wood must not be so strongly flavored that it overwhelms the food. Smoker chips are best when you do not use logs of hard wood in cooking. Regardless of whether your smoker is fueled by charcoal, gas or electricity, you can easily get the genuine flavor of bbq by using wood chips.
