How to Use Bourbon Barrel Smoking Chunks

Achieving the perfect smokey flavour is simple:

1.) Prepare Your Smoker or Braai:
Heat your smoker or Weber braai to 107-121°C (225-250°F) for optimal low-and-slow cooking conditions.

2.) Pre-heat the Wood Chunks:
Place chunks near the heat source to warm them gradually before adding them to your fire. This ensures clean smoke without harsh flavours.

3.) Add the Chunks:
Once pre-heated, position the bourbon barrel chunks on or near your coals to produce consistent smoke.

4.) Monitor Smoke Levels:
Add fresh chunks every 30-45 minutes to maintain steady smoke throughout your cooking session.

5.) Begin Smoking:
Place your prepared meat in the smoker and let the rich bourbon-infused smoke transform your dish!

Mixed it with Oak and loved the taste!!

Tried it with Brisket and added a touch of Oak chunks.. And the flavour was exceptional. The whole experience is so much fun and worth the wait. Tried a secret rub with the Maple-Bourbon Spritz you mentioned and it was such a hit with our guests! We can't wait to try more flavours and recipes!!
