!SmokinLicious® Gourmet Wood Chips

These are very well suited for the gas/propane grill and gas smoker. They are a perfect additive to wood smokers (you do not need to pre-soak the chips for the smoker application). Keep in mind that some electric and gas smokers are designed to only handle wood chips or smoking dust.

Grilling manufacturers have recognized the benefits of smoking foods by incorporating smoking drawers into their grilling equipment. These drawers are designed to hold pre-soaked wood chips which when heated, impart a smokey flavour to meats, poultry, and fish. But even for the grilling enthusiast who doesn't own a wood chips drawer, smoking foods with wood chips is as easy as folding a piece of aluminum foil (see SmokinLicious® FAQ's to learn how to make your own foil pouch).

Before using wood chips in a gas/propane grill, they need to be soaked for a minimum of 15 minutes in water, juice, whiskey, beer, wine, or other liquid. Allow the chips to drip dry for a few minutes prior to adding them to a smoking drawer or foil pouch. When cooking with a wood/charcoal smoker, simply add the chips directly onto the existing wood or charcoal - no need to pre-soak.

Our wood chips contain fine shavings of Wild Cherry, Red Oak, White Oak, Sugar Maple, Ash, and Alder.

The key to adding flavour to meats, poultry and fish is to use quality hardwoods. At !SmokinLicious®, we only provide the heartwood of hardwoods, meaning our products are always free of resin. Plus, we use woods that only provide a mellow to moderate flavouring, thereby controlling the tendency to overpower the food.
