WW Wood 2 lb Wood Chips - Western Smoking Chips are primarily used to add smoke flavor to food cooked on a gas grill.
WW Wood 2# Wood Chips - Chips were originally used and still are today to add real wood flavor to charcoal grills. This is accomplished by sprinkling a few handfuls of either wet or dry wood chips over the coals. As the chips smolder and burn, they apply the wood smoke flavor to the food being cooked.
Since the early 90's and the explosion of the gas grill craze, there has been huge growth in the popularity of smoking chips. There are many ways to add real wood smoke flavor to gas grills. One is with the smoker pouch. The smoker pouch is created when you take several handfuls of chips and wrap them up in a sheet of aluminum foil. Holes are then punched into the top and the bottom of the pouch. When this pouch is placed directly over one of the burners on the cooking grid, the chips will begin to smoke and smolder.
Another method of adding real wood smoke flavor to gas grills is with the smoker tray. There are several variations of smoker trays. They can be made out of many different types of steel. Smoker trays use the same basic concept as the smoking pouch without the hassle of the aluminum foil. Just fill the tray with chips and place over the burner on the cooking grid. Within minutes the chips will begin to smoke, that smoke is the flavor.
The application of wood chips to gas grill cooking is at an all time high. It has become so common today that many gas grills are now being designed with a smoker tray built right in. With flavors like mesquite, hickory, apple, maple, cherry, and Jack Daniel's among others, it has given grillers the versatility to change smoke flavors as easily as they change recipes.
Cook with Real Wood!
