Why Pellets are a better smoke flavor enhancer
Pellets are a unique form of natural wood. When pellets are made,
all of the air within the cellular structure of the wood is evacuated,
thus concentrating the wood into a very dense form, much denser than
the natural tree. As compared to other wood flavor enhancers, pellets
will yield a more intense smoke more quickly which seals the food,
locking in natural moisture and adding smoke flavor exactly when it's
needed.
Only 1/3 of a cup of pellets is needed for most cooking events. As
compared to other forms of smoking wood, you'll need 5-10 times the
weight of wood to achieve the same results as pellets. The cost per use
is much less for pellets than any other form of wood.
Since pellets have been processed from sawdust by pressure which
generates heat, any contaminants present in the wood are eliminated.
This process produces a smoking wood product of consistent quality.
Pellets are easy to use since you do not soak in water prior to use.
It's easy to blend wood flavors with pellets and easily repeat
successful cooking results.
BBQr's Delight pellets are made of 100% of the flavor of the wood
that is indicated on the package. Jack Daniel'sŪ Smoking Pellets are
made from the used mellowing charcoal from the distillery, pulverized
and mixed with sawdust then pelletized
How to Use BBQR's delight pellets:
Pellets are made of compressed sawdust. It's wood and wood burns
when heated. If you starve wood of oxygen when you heat it, it smokes
rather than burning to ash. This smoke is the best for providing food
with an all natural flavor!
A pouch made of heavy duty aluminum with just one tiny hole in one
side works great to provide smoke in most outdoor cookers. To make a
foil pouch, cut a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil 6" by 12" and fold
in half making a 6"x6" square. Fold the side edges at least twice,
pressing each fold firmly along the entire side. Put 1/3 of a cup of
pellets in the pouch and fold the top to seal. Poke a hole in one side
of the pouch with a toothpick. Place the pouch on top of your charcoal
briquettes or above the gas flame. When the smoke starts coming out of
the hole in the pouch, put your food on the cooking grate and close the
cover of your cooker. Smoke should last up to 30 minutes depending on
the temperature of your cooker.
TIPS & TRICKS
Make sure the foil pouch has enough room for the smoke to blow the
pouch up like a pillow. If you are using more pellets than recommended,
make a larger foil pouch. Pellets need "wiggle" room in the foil pouch.
If your gas grill has a smoking box or tray installed for use with wood
chips, try pellets instead. A foil packet of pellets will make for easy
clean up!
Only have regular aluminum foil? Make your foil pouch with two pieces
of layered foil for added strength. Be sure and put the hole through
both layers.
When you put food right over the hole in the foil pouch, that food is
going to be very heavily smoked. Always place the foil pouch off to one
side, not directly under food.
