OPTIONAL SMOKER BOX continued WOOD CHIPS
There are many wood chips available and selection
is based on personal taste. The most common are
mesquite or hickory. Soak the chips in water for at
least 30 minutes before putting them in the box.
This will prolong their smoldering time and provide
more smoke.
The intensity of the smoke flavor is personal
preference, but with extended cooking times, such
as with large roasts, you may want to add wood
chips and water to the smoker box more than
once. Try to limit the number of times you open
the lid, as each interruption can add up to 15
additional minutes to the overall cooking time. Use
medium heat to start the chips smoking, then
reduce to low to prevent them from drying out and
flaming up.
A high-quality meat thermometer is a very useful
tool to have when smoking or slow cooking as they
take the guesswork out of determining doneness.
