Mesquite Flavoring:
Mesquite, which means “the honey tree," gives a delicate, subtle, sweet flavor to grilled foods. It is
especially good with poultry and seafood.
Hickory Flavoring:
Hickory intensifies the flavor of food with a robust, tangy taste that is better suited to red meat than to
poultry or fish.
Apple or Fruitwoods Flavoring:
Apple or fruitwoods, many from orchards destroyed by re or old age, are a big hit. Like its mesquite counterpart,
the heaviest branches of the apple tree are heated to kill insects, then chipped, made into pellets and packaged
for retail. Apple (or any fruitwood) adds a smoky, mild sweetness to everything you cook and is highly
recommended for any baking.
