BBQ Smoking Oak Wood Chunks

Product Information

From Texas Trees: The bark is “brown to gray with platelike scales, deeply fissured, sometimes smooth and gray.”

After assembling the grills, analyzing the design and structure, and preseasoning them, we run several cooking tests, as follows: We find that Weber's Smokey Mountain series' 18-inch smoker offers the most for the casual at-home smoker. It has a relatively small footprint of about 20 inches, is made with the same solid steel and porcelain enamel as the brand's Original Kettle grills, and it will outlast most charcoal smokers on the market for the same price. Soak the coals: To make sure the coals are extinguished, you can also pour water over them – be sure to use lots of water so you've completely saturated them. If the barbecue has vents, close them: This will cut off the oxygen supply to the coals, so they start to cool down. You'll want to let the coals cool for several hours before attempting to take them out.

Basic grill BBQ: For simple straightforward cooking, this style of barbecue – which comes without a hood or air vents – will do a good job. However, you have to stay by it, learn how to use barbecue coals to create various heat zones around the grill, and regularly turn and move the food for even and safe cooking Two vents (one on top for smoke control, one on the side for airflow) provide fine adjustment, letting you control the temperature of the grill. They’re clearly marked with settings from one to five, letting you more easily make adjustments. The best way to use chunks is sparing. These fist-sized chunks should be split in half, then layered into the charcoal on a Weber kettle, or offset smoker. However, ceramic BBQs like kamados normally like quarter size chunks, due to their slower airflow. Tips:

Since there’s less hot air rushing upwards, food retains its moisture. Coals are surprisingly close to the grill, which means you’ll need to use a lot less charcoal. Plus, tiny holes in the grill enable the charcoal’s aroma and smokiness to seep through for a traditional barbecue taste. Even following the instructions closely, we found the heat control a little difficult to master – we failed in bringing it down to 120°C from 170°C by adjusting the vents. Number of cooking grills: Using inserts or shelves to move food away from the main heat (known as indirect cooking) is for more delicate dishes. The closing of the hood helps the food to cook evenly without too much fuss so lessens all the turning and moving, and means you are free to socialise Charcoal BBQs offer a more authentic experience, with food emerging with the smokey flavour you’d expect. Lighting the charcoals is harder than starting a gas BBQ, and you get less control over temperature. However, with a little practice, you get the full-on BBQ experience.
