labeling.\u00a0 It is the key to drawing attention to a product, to reduce interest in other similar products, and to make someone buy a specific product.\u00a0 Let\u2019s be honest.\u00a0 Not everything printed on a label necessarily provides <strong>ALL<\/strong> the information.\u00a0 Use certain words and an \u201cimplied\u201d thought will occur.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to packaging wood for smoking and grilling purposes, there are a lot of terms floating out there that certainly can be deceiving.\u00a0 Let\u2019s see if I can provide clarity on what specific terms and wording mean when it comes to purchasing wood for cooking, smoking, and grilling. <span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">SMOKING-GRILLING WOOD SELLING TERMS<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>WOOD SELLING TERMS:<\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong><em>100% Natural<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The intended meaning of 100% natural implies that it has not been touched by human hands.\u00a0 As such, with wood, this would refer to the fact that a tree is a plant designed by nature and other than cutting the tree down, it is not modified in any way.<\/p>\n<p>However, we do know that trees, like flowers, can be manipulated when it comes to their genetics.\u00a0 Genetically modified trees are quite common in the growth of orchard woods, especially those seeking to develop dwarf varieties or specific blossom colors or hybrids.\u00a0 Keep in mind, genetically modified trees will have a reduction in the lignin compound which is responsible for the flavor the wood gives when it burns and gives off smoke vapor.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, it is not legal to genetically modify forest trees but there is a lot of allowances when it comes to plantation and orchard\/nursery trees, which often have chemicals applied to make up for the weak lignin which makes the wood susceptible to decay and pest infestation.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong><em>Kiln-Dried<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Wood that is dried in a closed chamber in which the temperature and relative humidity of the circulated air can be controlled is called \u201ckiln drying\u201d.\u00a0 There are three types of Kiln Drying methods: low-temperature drying which is below 130\u00b0 F, conventional electric dehumidification drying, and conventional steam-heated drying which have temperatures up to 180\u00b0 F.<\/p>\n<p>For the most part, when a smoking or grilling wood product lists \u201ckiln-dried\u201d on the packaging, it does not state the type of method being employed.\u00a0 Also, many that use this term do so without providing any information on what compliance record keeping is in place to attest that they are doing what they say.<\/p>\n<p>There is one company who states that they adhere to the protocol designed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States_Department_of_Agriculture\"><strong>United States Department of Agriculture<\/strong> (<strong>USDA<\/strong>)<\/a> but quote a core temperature and length in minutes of the heating process that is <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">not<\/span> the standard written by the <strong>USDA<\/strong>.\u00a0 Their compliance agreement is provided by the state in which the business is located, which may have a different standard in place than the <strong>USDA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong><em>Air-Dried<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The process of drying green wood by exposure to prevailing natural atmospheric conditions outdoors or in an unheated shed is known as air drying. \u00a0There are three dominate Air Drying methods: open yard, shed, and forced-air shed.\u00a0 The first is not held in high regard as the wood is exposed to all the elements making it the longest method of depleting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smokinlicious.com\/moisture-recommendations-and-table.html\">moisture content<\/a> from the wood.\u00a0 The second has the addition of a roof covering to maintain a precipitation-free environment, while the third option is mostly used by traditional lumber companies as it produces quicker results meaning products can be sold quicker.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the issue when you see \u201cAir-Dried\u201d on package labeling of grilling and smoking woods: you don\u2019t know what method is used and no one is saying how long the wood was air-dried for.\u00a0 You don\u2019t know how old the wood is, what method of air drying was employed, how long it took to \u201cdry\u201d it, and you likely won\u2019t know what moisture content is left in the wood.\u00a0 Remember, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smokinlicious.com\/blog\/can-hardwood-be-too-dry-for-cooking\/\">d<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smokinlicious.com\/blog\/can-hardwood-be-too-dry-for-cooking\/\">ry out a piece of wood too far, and it is simply firewood designed for heat output only<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong><em>Naturally Cured<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is another term that floats out on the packaging that implies it is different from air drying techniques.\u00a0 It is not different.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally curing wood means the wood is stacked in a manner that allows air to flow around the wood pieces usually in an outdoor setting.\u00a0 It may be left exposed, covered with a tarp or have a roof structure overhead.\u00a0 Naturally curing wood for fireplace use is recommend for 365 days but there is no benchmark for the timing used to dry the wood for the use of smoking or grilling.\u00a0 Some suppliers will use moisture levels of 20-30% as their benchmark but 10% is a large variable in moisture when it comes to wood.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the biggest challenge with a natural curing method: dry the wood too quickly and you will find cracks, splitting, honeycombing, and\/or warping.\u00a0 Dry too slowly and the wood will stain and suffer decay.\u00a0 Remember, decay attracts pests as that is what they feed on. <span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">SMOKING-GRILLING WOOD SELLING TERMS<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong><em>Selecting<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I won\u2019t lie to you \u2013 there are a lot of choices out there for wood.\u00a0 How do you go about selecting from the limited information on the packaging?<\/p>\n<p>Some decisions you\u2019ll have to make on your own: do you want to cook with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smokinlicious.com\/blog\/to-bark-or-not\/\">bark<\/a> or do you find that bark indeed fluctuates the temperature of your equipment too much?\u00a0 Do you want to use a kiln-dried product even if you don\u2019t know what temperature and for how long that product was heated?\u00a0 Would you want to use a product that hasn\u2019t had any heat application applied to it meaning there may be pests, larvae, mold, and spores that haven\u2019t been eliminated by a heat process?\u00a0 Do you want to use a product from a supplier that provides no information on the moisture of the wood?\u00a0 Do you want to go with a \u201cnatural\u201d, \u201cair dried\u201d product that may have been exposed to anything that could access the wood: animal feces and urine, insects, chemical contaminants from the ground or another source?<\/p>\n<p>In the end, I think <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smokinlicious.com\/blog\/10-things-to-consider-before-purchasing-wood-for-cooking-grilling-smoking\/\">the selection<\/a> can be easy by simply looking at the wood for purity and cleanliness, looking at the packaging for evidence of air exchange meaning its likely not completely dried out and looking at the packaging information for claims that don\u2019t seem to match the product that is packaged inside.<\/p>\n<p>Most of all, you should be able to gain valuable information from any supplier\u2019s website on the wood they are selling to you.\u00a0\u00a0 If not, be cautious that they may not know anything about the manufacturing process of the wood and\/or what is needed in wood to qualify it as cooking ingredient.\u00a0 We hope that our discussion of smoking &amp; Grilling Wood Selling Terms adds clarity to your selection process.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Purchase products:<\/h2>\n<h3>Wood Chunks- <a
