Weber Hickory Wood Chips

Hickory Wood Chips

Hickory wood gives a strong traditional smoke flavour that is great for beef, ribs and chops.

For the perfect flavour, soak the chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using and simply add to hot coals. Wood will create more smoke and therefore, more flavour.

Can also be used with gas barbecues in conjunction with a smoker box, metal plate or just pierced tin foil! Get more ideas and learn what to expect from the different flavours from this article on Barbecue Smoking Flavours.

Always grill with the lid closed to allow the smoke to fully penetrate the food.

For charcoal grills: when coals are covered with white ash and ready to cook, sprinkle a handful of wet wood chips on top of the hot coals.

For gas grills: before preheating the grill, place wet wood chips in small alluminium pan in the front left-hand corner of the grill, underneath the cooking grate. Creating smoke in the grill before placing food on the cooking grate will give the best results. Do not place food above wood.
