BBQ Chunks Cognac - Grill Fanatics
- Oak from cognac barrels: warm, full-bodied and lightly sweet
- Blocks smoulder for hours, no topping up
- Stronger than fruit wood, ideal with beef and game
Some evenings call for smoke that doesn't hide. Cognac smoking wood chunks are blocks of oak that have held cognac for years and give that back while smouldering: warm, full, with a light sweet undertone that you don't find in fruit wood. This is smoke for a brisket or a piece of game that sits in the kamado all evening, with people around who know the wait is worth it.
What you save this wood for
Beef, lamb and hearty game roasts can stand up to this smoke, unlike delicate fish or a chicken breast, where it quickly takes over. Two to three blocks among the coals of your kamado bbq is enough for a whole session.
- Oak from cognac barrels, fuller smoke than apple or peach
- Chunks smoulder slowly and give off smoke for hours
- 500 gram bag, several sessions from one pack
- Works in kamado, smoker and on any bbq with a lid
How to use them
Place the blocks among the charcoal before lighting, not on top, so they only catch once the fire reaches them and the smoke spreads across the whole session. Soaking is not needed. If you're torn between short and long smoking, also check out the smoking wood chips for dishes of half an hour.
