Mesquite Flavoring:
Mesquite which means “the honey tree”, fives a delicate, subtle, sweet flavor to grilled foods, especially good with poultry
and seafood.
Hickory Flavoring:
Hickory intensifies the flavor of food with a robust, tangy taste that is better suited to red meat than to poultry or fish.
Apple or Fruitwoods Flavoring:
Apple or fruitwoods, many from orchards destroyed by fire or old age, are a big hit. Like its mesquite counterpart, the
heaviest branches of the apple tree are heated to kill insects, then chipped, made into pellets and packaged for retail. Apple
or any fruitwood, adds a smoky, mild sweetness to everything you cook or is highly recommended for any baking.
Alder Flavoring:
Popular in the Northwest United States, alder produces a mild taste suited for salmon and other fish.
