BBQ Chunks Apple - Grill Fanatics
- Mild, lightly sweet smoke from fruit wood
- Blocks give hours of smoke, no topping up
- Suits pork, chicken and fish
An afternoon at the kamado is all about patience: letting the fire come up to temperature and then waiting for the smoke to do its work. Apple wood chunks are the safe choice for that. The smoke is mild and slightly sweet, so you still taste the meat as normal, with a gentle smoky note running through it. Nice for an afternoon with friends around the kamado, where nobody wants an over the top smoky flavor on their plate.
What this wood suits
Apple works well with pork, chicken and fish. Think pulled pork, spareribs or a whole chicken on the kamado at the kamado bbq. Because they are chunks, blocks rather than fine chips, they smolder slowly and keep you supplied with smoke for hours without constantly refilling.
- Mild, slightly sweet smoke, also suitable if you are still figuring out which wood type you like
- 1 kilo per bag, plenty for several sessions
- No soaking time needed, wet wood only gives steam instead of smoke
- Combines well with a stronger wood type if you want more depth
How to place them
Two to three chunks among the coals is enough for a long session. They only catch once the fire reaches them, which spreads the smoke nicely over the whole cooking time. If you are going for shorter sessions, for example chicken breast in half an hour, chips work faster: you can find those at smoking wood chips. For the long, calm sessions by the fire, these chunks remain the logical choice.
