Smoking Wood Chunks Hickory - 1kg - Grill Fanatics
- Bold smoke flavour with a slightly bacon-like note
- Chunks smoulder for hours for a whole session
- 1kg bag of blocks, hickory wood
Hickory is the wood of American barbecue: strong, savory, with a slightly bacony note that comes through everywhere. These chunks from Grill Fanatics are blocks rather than chips, so they smolder for hours without you needing to refill. At Nomad Fire, this is the wood for the long session: pulled pork, brisket, spareribs and beef sausage.
Who this wood is really for
Hickory belongs with fatty, hearty cuts that cook for hours. With lean meat, poultry or fish the smoke quickly becomes too dominant, and fruit wood is a better choice then.
- Powerful, savory smoke flavor
- Chunks smolder for hours, no refilling needed
- Easy to tone down by mixing with fruit wood
Spread one or two chunks among the unlit coals and only then light up. Start with less than you are used to: hickory is strong, and too much smoke makes the crust bitter. Check the other smoking wood chunks or, for shorter cooks, the smoking wood chips.
