Pecan Wood: Weber Firespice Chips
When it comes to outdoor cooking, nothing is as important as bringing smoky flavor to every plate on the table. And with this fragrant collection of pecan wood chips from Weber, BBQ masters can mix and match different types of wood to lend a smoky depth to whatever foods are going on the grill. True smoke lovers will have a few different options at the ready when it comes to wood chips and chunks, and pecan wood is an essential grill smoker accessory that adds flavor to any outdoor cooker.
Flavor Profile: Aromatic and Light
Unlike heavy lumber such as mesquite chips, pecan wood brings a milder taste similar to that of fruit varieties like apple and cherry. Many would say that this hardwood is akin to hickory in savoriness, though not as overpowering. Grillers often pair this nutty lumber with other woods to create a flavorful mix when cooking complicated multi-course meals. While it's flexible enough to go with all kinds of different foods, many prefer its medium-strength flavor on beef, poultry, and pork for a nutty fragrance.
Where to Use Pecan Wood Chips
Pecan wood chips are easy to use, but first-time grillers and smokers may not know exactly how to use them when it's time to light up the grill. This is easy with charcoal grills; you just add the lumber to your flaming charcoal, allowing the release of as much flavor as you need throughout your cooking process. However, it's a little more difficult with gas grills. Instead of an exposed flame, most gas-fueled cookers have covered burners—making it difficult to smoke lumber without damaging the inside of your cookbox. To get around this roadblock, Weber has developed accessories such as the smoker box. These boxes sit below the grate on your gas grill, close enough to catch heat from a burner, but staying enclosed to prevent any ash or damage to your barbecue. Add one of these to your collection of grilling gear or check to see if your barbecue already has it. Many higher-end models come with them already installed. If you're in a pinch and need to get that flavorful smoke into your food, some grill enthusiasts recommend using aluminum foil. Keep in mind that the risk of damaging your grill is higher this as such.
