Kickstart Your Favorite Recipes with Weber's Apple Wood Chips
One of the nation's favorite fruits takes its spot on the dinner plate as an invisible ingredient in your barbecue creations. Weber apple wood chips bring a mild yet sweet fruitiness to anything you cook out on the grill. Traditionally, grillmasters add these lumber scraps to glowing briquettes on a charcoal grill for fruity mild flavors. But charcoal grillers aren't the only ones who can have fun with woodsy aromas. Grill smoker accessories like sturdy steel smoker boxes allow gas grillers to bring that sought-after taste to foods cooked on liquid propane and natural gas barbecues, too. Before adding your apple wood chips to the charcoal or smoker box, many experts recommend soaking them for a few hours. Conventional wisdom dictates that soaking the lumber makes it more likely to smoke for longer, avoiding a fast burn time and creating better flavor. There is some debate about whether soaking is very effective in the long run, though, and just like anything in the barbecue community, the best advice to trust is your own experience. Try using apple wood in your own cooker and see the results for yourself. Each of these bags includes 3 lbs of wood for an economical price. Try different flavor combinations with hickory, maple, and other wood varieties too.
Comparing Apple (Chips) to Oranges
While you can cook almost anything out on the grill, it's important to mix and match your proteins, veggies, and wood chips carefully. For example, "applewood smoked bacon" is notoriously popular, while "cedar salmon" is just as beloved. Most grillmasters acknowledge that apple goes well with meats like pork, poultry, ham and pork, as well as lamb and game meat. Some will even smoke seafood with it. Great for low-and-slow smoking or quick weeknight dinners, these versatile chips go well with nearly any meal you can make.
