Cherry Wood Smoke: Boost Flavor with Weber Firespice Chips
Searching for a new dimension of flavor from your same old grill? Let smoke be the sous chef with cherry wood chips from Weber. These scraps of cherry wood smoke up well with all kinds of foods, reinvigorating stale recipes and ingredients. And while wood chips are traditionally used in charcoal grilling and smoking, they can be used with gas grills too with the aid of a grill smoker accessory: a solid steel smoke box. Toss these cherry wood chips in with your glowing briquettes as you cook, or set up your smoker box as the gas grill heats up. Higher-price models may have a smoker box already built in beneath the grate. If yours doesn't, stack your external smoker box above a burner on top of the grate and add your chips. These chips of cherry wood smoke well whether you soak them in water or not. Some say that soaking in water beforehand allows them to produce more flavor and burn slower, while others claim soaking makes little difference. These 3 lb. bags are an economical buy, giving you the leeway to experiment and find your favorite cooking method.
A Mildly Fruity Aroma
As a general rule, fruit woods like cherry and apple lend a sweet yet smoky taste to whatever foods you're preparing out on the patio. But that doesn't mean all fruit smoking is the same. Do a little bit of homework before you drown that prime cut of beef in cherry wood smoke. Meats like poultry, lamb, and (especially) pork are considered a good match for this variety by most grillers. Meanwhile, many say to steer clear of this fruity flavor when smoking vegetables. Instead, go for oak chips which are considered to provide a "darker" aroma. Either way, mix and match foods with different lumber for a new spin on all of your old favorites.
