The principal behind smoking is that wood burns when it is heated and by reducing the amount of oxygen available to the wood, it smokes rather than burns and by adding the pieces of wood to your barbecue smoker, a range of fantastic flavours is produced. Some smokers also use a system of pellets. If you’re just grilling, try wrapping some barbecue wood chips in foil and then perforate the foil with a skewer. Throw the foil pack onto the coals and you’ll get a pretty similar effect.Green wood burns at a higher temperature burns for longer and provides more smoke than aged wood.
