Our woods all come from sustainable sources and are specifically produced for smoking food, they contain little or no bark and are 100% natural. Using our quality woods, ensures that you get the best and most consistant results, when creating delicious smoked foods.
Using wood chips, chunks, dust or pellets to create smoke is a great way to transform sometimes bland barbecued foods into meals that will have your friends and family begging for more. Many people don't pay enough attention to the quality of wood they use for smoking food. Smoke is used as you would a spice or herb on food… to impart flavour, so don't compromise (you wouldn't use spices or herbs that were old, or moldy). A good quality wood, specifically harvested and prepared for barbecuing and food smoking, can make a significant difference. When you chose a wood it's important to take the following into consideration…
Bark – If the wood you use still has the bark on, it will impart a bitter flavour to your food. The bark is also the tree's protection and often contains stuff like mold, old bug carcasses, bug poo and other unsavory contaminants.
Origin – Where the wood comes from is of great importance, our woods come from sustainable resources and are specifically made for food smoking.
Wood Variety – The type of wood you use will make a huge difference. The general "rule of thumb" is that fruit woods are mild and nut woods produce a very strong flavour. For more information, please see our guide to smoking woods HERE
