Evening. Hope you have had a nice week.

Ive had lots of people asking about wood chunks this week. I use this company from amazon. https://amzn.to/3MR3hhl

They have a few to choose from

Cherry gives a subtle sweet and fruity flavour and a fantastic smoke ring.

Hickory is a sweer yet stronger most baconey flavour fantastic with brisket and pork.

Alder light, sweet and grate with seafood

Apple is sweet and pairs well with chicken pork and lamb.

Beach light almost nutty flavour nice with chicken but really sings if cold smoking cheese.

Maple sweet and mild fantastic with cheese and chicken.

Oak is a mid range smokey flavour I like to add this to fruit woods. great with beef lamb, pork and for stronger cheeses and fish.

Whisky Oak barrels burn a little quicker tbe stander oak, you will get a slight whisky flavour to your meat but will want a glass in your hand.

My son Charlie is enjoying the traeger and did his first solo cook of chicken wings this week. You can follow his journey on Instagram @char_grillz he will also feature on the YouTube channel at points.

Today I've rounded out my kebab series with a epic mushroom shawarma cooked on the my spike. https://youtu.be/Ri_z8zeJ19Q. Tuesdays cook was lamb shish a great recipe to have in your arsenal. https://youtu.be/AhDFduBlSfw

Tom
