Napoleon Cherry Wood Chips - 67005
Smoking Wood Chips | Mild and Sweet Cherry
When it comes to barbecuing, there are all kinds of ways to bring flavor to food, from marinades to spice rubs. A not-so-well-kept secret smokers have been using for centuries involves their fuels. Cooking over a charcoal grill brings that dark, charred aroma that tells those who eat it upon the first bite that "this was grilled". Meanwhile, gas grillers struggle to bring the same smokiness to their food—while liquid propane and natural gas barbecues are some of the easiest to use thanks to near-instant ignition, the heat is often smokeless. Remedy any lack in flavor with smoking wood chips like these bits of cherry lumber.
Cooking with Wood
While adding these smoking wood chips to charcoal cookers is as simple as tossing a handful on your briquettes, it's not as easy with gas-fueled grills. Dropping flaming chips into a gas firebox has the potential to cause serious problems, from a fire-damaged grill to destroyed sear plates. Instead, you'll need an accessory like a smoker box or tube (some higher-end Napoleon grills even come with the tube installed). These containers sit beneath the grates and on top of one of your burners, picking up heat and smoke and transferring it to the waiting foods above for a dramatic infusion of flavor.
Cherry's Flavor Profile
Once you're equipped with the hardware for smoking wood chips, it's time to study up on the important stuff: flavor. As one of the milder fruit woods used for barbecuing, cherry brings a light and sweet palate to anything you cook on the grill. However, not all meats and veggies go well with every wood. Think of smoker woods almost like wine—certain flavors pair well with different foods, and can even ruin others. But when it comes to cherry, many traditional grillmasters say that it pairs well with nearly every meat (including fish), though some say it's a poor match for many vegetables. Do your own research and try using these new cooking methods on your favorite recipes, and experience the difference yourself.
