Cooking & Food Western Maple BBQ Smoking Wood Chips

Maple BBQ smoking chip smoke, reminiscent of maple syrup, naturally pairs well with pork, but its sweet flavor and mild aroma also complements the flavor of sausages and vegetables. Try mixing it with stronger aroma woods such as Hickory or Mesquite BBQ smoking chips to add a subtle zest to the overall flavor.

Instructions

USE WITH GAS GRILLS OR ELECTRIC SMOKERS

On a gas grill, fill a reusable smoker tray or a foil pouch with two to three handfuls of wood chips. Place the tray or pouch directly over the hottest burner until it begins to smoke. Using tongs, move it to one side to make room for the food.

The chips will smoke for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Be sure to have a second pouch or smoker tray ready when cooking for longer periods of time.

See the manufacturer’s instructions for use with electric smokers.

TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

To accelerate the smoking process on your gas grill, use only dry chips and turn the temperature to high when you first place your pouch or tray on the cooking grid. Within a few minutes, the chips will begin to smoke. At that point, turn the temperature to your desired cooking level.

If the chips flame up on your gas grill, use a spray bottle of water to douse the flames. This tip does not pertain to electric grills.

Wood chips can also be used on charcoal grills as described for gas grills. However, wood chunks work better with charcoal than chips.
