TO SMOKE FOOD IN A KETTLE BBQ:
- Special
woodchips are commercially available which give off a wonderfully scented
smoke and infuse the food with a distinctive flavour.
- Never
use wood that is not specially treated for smoking food, as woodchips that
are chemically treated may make food poisonous.
- To
smoke food, soak 6 woodchips in water for 1 hour and prepare a kettle
barbeque for indirect cooking. When the briquettes are ready, add 3
woodchips to each side and close the lid until the chips begin to smoke.
Then cook the food according to the recipe.
- Lift
the lid as little as possible so that you don’t lose too much of the
smoke.
- Smoking
does not work in a gas or electric barbeque as the wood chips need to burn
to infuse their aromatic flavour.
