Wood chips make for a great way to make smoky barbecues. Wood chips come in many sizes and types. You can either soak them or add them to your grill at the beginning. You have the choice of which wood type you want. Using different types of wood will give your barbecue a unique flavor. This article will go over some of the most popular wood chips that are used for smoking.
Before you put the wood chips on the barbecue, soak them in water. This will help reduce the heat and increase the smoke. It is important to only soak the wood chips for about a half hour. Otherwise, they might not produce a smokey taste. It is best not to soak the wood chips too long. Wood chips need to be soaked for only a few hrs so that they do not absorb too much water.
Once the wood chips are dry and brittle, it is time to put them on the grill. There are two main types: charcoal grills with and without a smoker box. The smoker box holds the wood chips and directs the smoke into the cooking chamber. If you don't have a smoker box, you can place woodchips directly on the charcoal. Both will produce similar results.
For the best results, select a wood chips flavor that you are most fond of. A foil pouch can be purchased with wood chips if you don't enjoy smokey grilled meat. You can now choose the flavor you prefer and then pick your charcoal smoker box. The foil bag can be used to smoke meats without the use of a box. These are important steps to ensure the perfect mixture of smoky and sweet smoke.
First, pick your wood chips. Apple wood chips are a good choice for poultry and pork. Pecans work well for baking, but they won't be suitable for charcoal grilling. If you want to use hickory, it will give your meat a delicious smoke flavor. You can also place some pecans on the charcoal grill.
You must prepare the wood chips before you begin cooking. You must ensure that the charcoal is clean. To give your meat a rich, smoky flavor, add wood chips about every 45 minutes. While you're at it, make sure to keep the lid closed and add more chips when needed. If you want a smoky taste, use more wood chips.
