Know before you buy
Apple wood provides a mild, sweet, and fruity smoke. It is significantly lighter than woods like hickory or mesquite, making it ideal for delicate proteins.
Because of its subtle flavor, apple wood is best suited for fish, poultry, and pork. It enhances these meats without overpowering their natural taste.
While soaking is a common debate, it is not strictly required. Soaking can delay the production of smoke, so many grillers prefer to use them dry to achieve immediate, consistent smoke output.
Yes, these chips can be used on any grill. If you are using a gas grill, place the chips in a smoker box or a foil pouch to prevent them from catching fire directly.
A handful or two of chips is usually sufficient for a standard grilling session. Since the container holds 192 cubic inches, you will have enough for several rounds of smoking.
