What Flavor Should I Use?
There are many wood chip types that result in different flavors.
Choosing a particular flavor may take some trial and error but the
chart below explains which woods will provide a more heavy, full
flavor and which will provide a more mild, light flavor. This is a
good starting point on your way to choosing your favorite flavors.
NOTE:
• You do not need to soak the wood chips in water before use.
Soaking the wood chips will not extend the smoking time; only
lengthen the time before they start to smoke.
• The smoker box is designed for wood chips or pellets only, do
not use wood chunks.
