- What does cherry wood smoke taste like?
- Cherry gives a mild, sweet, fruity smoke. It is gentle enough for chicken, turkey, pork and fish, and it will not dominate delicate food the way hickory or mesquite can.
- Will these splits fit my smoker?
- Each split is about 8 inches long and 3 by 3 inches across. That fits most offset fireboxes, cabinet smokers, pizza ovens and smokeless fire pits. Check your firebox depth before ordering for a very small unit.
- Do I need to season these before use?
- No. They are kiln-dried, so they are ready to burn out of the box. Store them somewhere dry, since the low moisture is what gives you clean, even heat.
- How is cherry different from hickory or mesquite?
- Cherry is much milder and sweeter. Hickory and mesquite deliver stronger, heavier smoke, so cherry is the safer pick for poultry, fish and vegetables.
- Can I use these in a pizza oven or fire pit?
- Yes. The small splits suit pizza ovens and smokeless fire pits as well as smokers and pit grills, and they light quickly because of their size.
- How many splits should I add at a time?
- Add one or two splits at a time to keep a small, clean fire. Because they are small, they burn down faster than full logs, so expect to feed them more often on long cooks.
