Western Hickory Wood Chunks

Description

3.1kg of 100% natural hickory wood chunks for use in both Gas and Charcoal BBQs.

A very recognizable smoke, Hickory is commonly identified with pork products such as bacon, sausage, and pork shoulder. However, it also pairs well with chicken and beef. Hickory has a strong aroma that is not too bold and slightly sweet. 

Chunks can be used in dozens of different types of grills to add that wonderful wood smoke flavour to your dishes. Chunks are great to use with charcoal for added flavor, but for best results and completely natural cooking, use only 100% wood chunks.

With Charcoal Directions

Light charcoal using your preferred method. 

Several minutes before cooking, add 3-5 dry chunks for a standard sized grill (add more chunks if using a larger smoker).

Continue to add chunks every 20-30 minutes during the cooking process to infuse that great smoke flavour into your cooking. 

 

Without Charcoal Directions

Stack dry cooking chunks in a pyramid on top of a solid fire starter (leave the rough edge exposed) then light the fire starter. 

Let the chunks burn for approximately 15 to 20 minutes with the lid on and all vents open.

Wait for flames to subside, then open the lid and the spread the chunks out evenly. 

Place food on the grill and close the lid again. 

(Cooking with the lid closed prevents flare ups and allows the wood to give a better flavour to your food as it cooks). 

Experiment to find your desired level of smoke flavour. Also try hickory smoke flavour on your favourite vegetables and cheeses.
