FAQs
What is the best way to use these wood chips for smoking?
Add a small handful of chips directly to hot coals in your smoker or grill. For longer smoking sessions, add more chips as needed when smoke production decreases.
Can I use these chips in a gas grill?
While not designed for gas grills, you can place a small amount of chips in a smoker box or foil pouch and place that on the grill grates over the burners to impart smoke flavor.
How long do the chips typically last?
The duration depends on the amount used and the intensity of the fire. A 6kg bag can provide smoke for multiple cooking sessions.
Are these chips suitable for baking pizza?
Yes, they are excellent for outdoor pizza ovens to add a subtle smoky flavor to the crust.
What is the difference between wood chips and wood chunks?
Chips are smaller and burn faster, producing quick smoke. Chunks are larger and burn longer, providing sustained smoke for longer cooks.
How should I store the wood chips?
Store the wood chips in their original packaging or another dry, airtight container in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture absorption.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Yes, the packaging is 100% recyclable and plastic-free.
Troubleshooting
Chips not producing enough smoke
Ensure chips are not too wet. Try adding them to a more established fire or placing them closer to the direct heat source.
Chips burning too quickly
Reduce the amount of chips added at once, or ensure they are not placed directly in the strongest part of the flame. Aim for smoldering rather than combustion.
Inconsistent temperature
Adjust the quantity of wood chips and airflow to maintain a stable temperature. Ensure there are no blockages in the firebox.
