Smoked Bourbon Cranberry Cocktail<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

C<\/span>ocktail smoker kits have become the new rage!\u00a0 You may have had your first smoked cocktail at a craft bar and became hooked.\u00a0 That led to finding an easy-to-use home kit for crafting your own smoked cocktails.\u00a0 But, what about the cocktail smoker wood chips?\u00a0 If they don’t come with your kit, how do you know what size chip to purchase?<\/p>\n

C<\/span>ocktail smoker wood chips have one distinct difference from general barbeque wood chips<\/a>.\u00a0 They are much smaller.\u00a0 Because the purpose is to generate a cold smoking environment to flavor the cocktail of choice, these wood chips need to produce a quick burst of flavor.\u00a0 Most home cocktail kits contain the wood chip fuel source but don’t indicate the actual size of the chip.<\/p>\n

Let’s educate you on micro wood chip sizing.<\/p>\n

The Higher the Number, the Smaller the Chip<\/span><\/h3>\n

A<\/span>t\u00a0SmokinLicious\u00ae<\/strong><\/a>, we follow the European standard for sizing micro wood chips.\u00a0 Since these chips were originally designed for biomass usage (biofuel), the screening or separation process to select sizes was crucial.\u00a0 For cocktail smoking, this point is less needed.<\/p>\n

What is important when smoking cocktails is to use a fuel wood chip that fits in the burn chamber and ignites quickly.\u00a0 Trapping the smoke vapor from the smoker wood chips allows the flavor to transfer to your cocktail of choice.<\/p>\n

Although cocktail smoker kits have different features, they all require a smoker wood chip to generate smoke. Some kits may include a small amount of the chip product while others don’t.\u00a0SmokinLicious\u00ae<\/strong> has found that most of these kits work best with our\u00a0Minuto\u00ae<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Wood Chip\u00a0<\/strong>sizing, specifically, chip size #6 or #8.\u00a0 These numbers reference millimeter sizing of the chip.\u00a0 So, a #8 is smaller than the #6.<\/p>\n

With a smaller size, ignition is quick allowing for the smoke to generate and be trapped.\u00a0 Within seconds, you’ll be sitting with a fresh smoked cocktail<\/a>!<\/p>\n
