Weber Firespice Apple Wood Chunks - 17139
A Sweet Infusion: Apple Wood Chunks
Bring a fruity sense of smokiness to your favorite low-and-slow recipes with Weber apple wood chunks. These large lumber pieces are designed to impart a new dimension of flavor as you cook over charcoal or smoke. Unlike other grill smoker accessories like wood chips, these apple wood chunks burn for hours at a time. That makes this light lumber a great choice for smoking large meats over low heat. If you're whipping up a quick meal hot and fast, opt for much smaller apple wood chips instead—they'll impart a similar flavor in a short amount of time.
It's All in the Details
Before cooking up your outdoor recipes with this fruity lumber, consider logistics. Things like pre-soaking and the number of chunks you'll be using might seem unimportant, but these factors can change the flavor of your final product. Most grillers recommend starting with one or two large pieces, then checking back to add more if necessary. If you're making smaller meals, a single piece may be enough. When it comes to pre-soaking, the barbecue community is split. Some believe that those apple wood chunks are ready to go into your charcoal grill's fire as soon as you open the bag. Meanwhile, others still suggest soaking them in water for at least 30 minutes. The goal of soaking before smoking is to prolong the life of your apple wood chunks, and create more smoke (and less flame) in the long run. Consider trying both to see what works best for your signature dishes.
Aromatic Pairings
Just like the fruit it bears, the lumber from an apple tree brings a mild yet sweet flavor that partners well with some foods, and poorly with others. Many grillmasters love smoking this variety with foods like pork (especially bacon and ham), poultry, lamb, and even game birds like pheasant. Try it in your outdoor kitchen and serve with complementary sides for an unforgettable meal.
