BBQ flavor starts with REAL WOOD SMOKE. Smoking chips provide a way to achieve this wonderful taste even when using alternative fuels such as gas grills and vertical or electric smokers. Cherry can be mixed with other fruit woods to develop a custom flavor. It can be used with vegetables, seafood, ribs, chicken, steaks, venison and beef-based sausages. Cherry wood also adds a similar mild and fruity smoke flavor as apple but with a bit more punch.
