The use of aromatic wood in a gas grill is quite easy. All you have to do is follow these steps:
- Place the wood chips in an aluminum drip pan filled with water and soak them for about an hour and a half.
- For each grilling you will need about a cup of chips.
- Prepare your gas grill at a moderate temperature.
- Drain well and add them to the smoking box.
- When the woods begin to smoke, move the food over the smoking box.
- If you use indirect grilling you will need to add another handful every 45 minutes.
If you have a charcoal grill, the use of aromatic smoking chips is even easier. Just the instructions apply to the gas grill, except you do not need the special smoking box. Just place the wood chips on your charcoal.
Where there is smoke there is fire. But in this case it is important that smoking woods does not catch fire, because then the smoke will give a bitter taste to your food. The same can cause the sudden increase to heat. So soaking and temperature monitoring are the two most important things to watch out when using smoking woods or planks.
