Fire up the grill! These Alder Wood Chips bring out the nostalgic smell of summertime and camp. They're good for hot and cold smoking in all types of smokers and on a barbecue. Chips are soaked in water so that they smolder when placed in a small, perforated pan on the heat source. Alder produces a light, sweet smoke that is good for smoking trout or salmon, shellfish like clams or oysters, whole chickens, or thick pork chops. An all-natural chip, they have not been chemically sprayed.
