How to use our Smoking Woods and Cooking Planks

Grilling with wood may just be the easiest way to becoming
a "gourmet" chef since man first tasted meat cooked
with fire.


Cooking with wood brings back that unmistakable flavor of
the wild open range, a deep woods campsite or fire pit at the
shore. It is a fun and flavorful first step to a great dining
and entertaining experience.

* Wood chips and chunks flavor
your food with smoke.

* Traditional rectangle planks
do that as well but as the plank burns the flames lap at the
meat which can add a wonderful crispy edge to the salmon or whatever
you're cooking.

* Natural oval planks add flavor
with smoke & flame the same way a rectangle plank does but
because the oval's are cut through the center of the tree the
moisture, and sap that goes out the ends of a rectangle plank,
come up through the center of an oval plank coming in contact
directly with the food. This adds another flavor beyond the wonderful
smoke.

* Natural oval and rectangle
planks can be used on a gas or propane grill or even in the oven
or broiler! They're not just for summer! You can cook a holiday
feast on planks in the oven any time of the year.
