Smoking and wood-fired cooking are a passion for many.\u00a0 You invested in a quality piece of equipment.\u00a0 Shopped for the best ingredients.\u00a0 Dedicated time to watching videos and reading articles on smoking.\u00a0 Sourced hardwood that claims to be for smoking.\u00a0<\/span> But do you know for sure?<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So Many Terms<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Food labeling over the years has become complicated.\u00a0 That seems to have passed on to hardwoods for smoking and cooking as well.\u00a0 Package labeling for wood is not usually accurate.\u00a0 In fact, it implies certain information.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Case in point, many suppliers now use the term 100% natural.\u00a0 <\/span>But what does that mean?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b> Natural used for food labeling means there are no artificial ingredients or preservatives and there has been minimal processing.\u00a0 Certainly, a supplier that sources wood from orchards uses the \u201cnatural\u201d term but you have no assurance the tree has not been genetically modified.\u00a0 Translation \u2013 chemicals have been added.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Move on to the various drying processes and even more confusion occurs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kiln-dried, air-dried, and naturally cured are all common labeling for wood.\u00a0 But that\u2019s as far it may go.\u00a0 No one references how long that process is, or at what temperature the drying occurs, or even where this process happens (i.e. open yard, shed, etc.).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

True Forest Hardwood for Smoking<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

When you see forest grown on the package you assume the wood comes from a natural growing area.\u00a0 Even if there is a reference to a drying process, be sure the wood does not appear cracked and light in weight.\u00a0 If too much moisture is taken from the wood, you\u2019ll end up with seasoned firewood and not a hardwood for smoking.\u00a0 Remember, moisture is needed to produce a clean smoke.\u00a0 No moisture means no flavor from the wood.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Be sure the label states 100% of the hardwood named on the package.\u00a0 If not, you may be using a combination of hardwood AND softwood!\u00a0 You have to make the decision on whether you want to use bark-on or bark-free wood.\u00a0 Off-flavors can develop with bark.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the end, by reading wood labels in detail like you do with food labels, can guarantee you a better choice.\u00a0 After all, some of the best flavors come from those items direct from the land around us.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
