The Napoleon Hickory Wood Chips are naturally sourced, kiln-dried hardwood chips that deliver a bold, Southern-style smoky flavor, perfect for bacon, pork, and beef. Ideal for smaller or faster-cooking foods like steaks, chops, and filets, they provide rich smoke without the need for sauces. For best results, soak the chips in water for at least 30 minutes before use, or enhance flavor by soaking in beer, bourbon, ginger ale, cola, apple juice, pineapple juice, or red wine. Once prepared, place the chips in a smoker tube, box, or tray on a gas, charcoal, or electric grill and cook with the lid closed to infuse deep, authentic smoke flavor into your food.
