Spice Up Your BBQ with Weber Chips: Hickory Smoking Wood

It's one of America's most popular pastimes: grilling over charcoal. Smoke-filled summers are spent in the backyard, lounging around the patio table as the sun sets and the stars come out. And no matter what you're eating, you want it to have that smoky taste that only a charcoal grill can provide. Bring an extra layer of flavor to your favorite recipes with hickory wood Weber Firespice chips. These chips can burn right alongside your briquettes, creating a subtle yet sweet-and-smoky aroma that's sure to soak right into your meats. They're beloved among many grillers for their innate ability to burn for longer than fruit woods like apple and cherry, too. It takes a long while to burn too, meaning a few of these hickory wood chips can provide strong flavor for your entire meal. Keep in mind that many grill enthusiasts before have made the mistake of "oversmoking" with this fuel, and end up with meats and veggies that taste a little too bitter.

Smokin' Flavor

While this hickory wood flavor profile is a southern staple for all things grilled, there are some foods it pairs extremely well with. Try your hickory smoking wood with bacon and pork, as well as poultry, lamb, and even wild game. Steer clear of seafood like shrimp and salmon you'd normally cook on the grill, though. These delicate foods do better with subtler sweet notes from apple and cherry wood. Charcoal grillers don't have to be the only ones who can have fun with hickory wood, either. A smoker box is all any gas grill needs to bring an aromatic shot of smokiness to your evening's meal.
