Food Smoking Wood Chips – 2 flavours

These Food Smoking Wood Chips can be used to smoke food on your stovetop, home smoker, gas or charcoal braai.

Smoking gives food an extra dimension of flavour, it also changes the internal colour of the meat to a light pink as smoke is imparted into the muscle tissue.

Due to their size/texture, they smoulder for a shorter time to produce a delicious smoky flavour. Which also makes them quick and convenient to use.

How to use your Food Smoking Wood Chips:

• Soak the wood chips in liquid (water or other beverages) for 1hr.
• This will ensure that steam is generated when the soaked chips/shavings are used, which will add moisture and heat to the smoking process. This method also prolongs burning time. The key with wood chips & shavings is to deny the wood of oxygen so it smoulders and smokes.
• Create a tin foil tray and place shavings in the centre of the tray.
• Place the tray directly onto coals in your charcoal braai, add food to the grid and close the lid.
• If using a smoker, follow the instructions of your specific smoker.
• If using a gas braai, you’ll need a smoker box to use the shavings.
• Or use a stovetop steamer, with the soaked shavings in the bottom with all the water drained off.
