BBQ Smoking Wood Chips Olive - Grill Fanatics

Fish, vegetables and chicken do not need heavy smoke, but something that supports the flavor of olive oil, garlic and herbs instead of taking over. These olive smoking wood chips from Grill Fanatics do exactly that: a gentle, lightly herby smoke with a Mediterranean character, in a handy 500 gram bag.

For the short session in between

Sprinkle a handful of dry chips over glowing coals on the kamado, or fill a smoke box with them if you are cooking on a gas barbecue. Within a few minutes the smoke draws through a whole sea bream, grilled aubergine or a chicken with rosemary, just enough to add some depth to a short cook without turning it into a whole smoking session.

• Gentle, aromatic smoke with a Mediterranean character
• Suits fish, vegetables, chicken and lamb
• Fine chips, smoke on the coals within minutes
• 500 gram bag, also suitable for gas barbecue with smoke box

Use

Start with a small amount for delicate white fish and only add more if you want more smoke: olive wood is stronger in flavor than it seems.

If you are planning a long session, check the smoking wood chunks, which smolder for hours instead of minutes.
