Great beech wood for smoking results are provided from many beech species<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not the most popular of hardwoods in the North American region and certainly it doesn\u2019t have the following in the European market.\u00a0 However, this is still an interesting hardwood to use for wood-fired cooking techniques.<\/p>\n

Going Beech! That means your entering the wood family that includes white oak as a relative.\u00a0 Part of the Fagaceae<\/a> family, the variety we manufacture is Fagus grandifolia <\/em>Ehrh.\u00a0 Unlike its cousin, Beech doesn\u2019t produce a heavy, pungent flavouring but rather a more balanced, medium toned profile.\u00a0 The common names for the varieties found in the Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania regions are American Beech <\/a>and Red Beech<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Less temperament than Oak<\/a>, Beech <\/a>is considered a rather bland wood to look at.\u00a0 When it is exposed to steam\/heat, it takes on a golden hue and that is commonly what the coloring to various meats, poultry, and fish will also show<\/a>.\u00a0 Keep in mind, like all of our cooking woods<\/a>, the descriptors used are truly in the palate of the taster.\u00a0 There are no rules that say one wood must be used with a specific food.\u00a0 Experimentation is what the art of fire cooking is all about.\u00a0 And, the region that the wood is harvested from also factors into the flavoring it will provide when foods are exposed to it.\u00a0 The same wood in a western state will not produce the same flavoring as the wood from an eastern state.\u00a0 Everything interacts with the tree: soil pH, growth location, sun exposure, precipitation exposure, etc.<\/p>\n

Heat Level:<\/strong> High \u2013 21.8 MBTU<\/p>\n

Fuel Efficiency:<\/strong> Excellent<\/p>\n

Ease of Lighting:<\/strong> Poor<\/p>\n

Ideal Uses:<\/strong> Baking\/Grilling\/Roasting\/Braising\/Pit Roasting\/Hot Smoking\/Cold Smoking<\/p>\n

So, take a go at Beech, even if it takes a bit to get it lite.\u00a0 The aroma is pleasant, the burn time is extensive, and the infusion appealing.<\/p>\n

The Culinary Team wants you to know \u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u2026 although Beech is common in many areas of the world and often used to smoke foods and brew beer in the European tradition, our harvest region of the Eastern Appalachian Mountains has a distinctive balance of soil Ph levels and climate conditions which give our Beech hardwood cooking products a \u2018one of a kind\u2019 smoky flavor profile that can be used for a wide variety of foods!<\/p>\n
