> Meats > Smokers > Wood Planks
The modern method of smoking foods has evolved from a process of preserving. Long before refrigerators and chemical preservatives, smoke was used to extend the shelf life of food, particularly meat. These days, smoking as it relates to barbecue, is so much more than preservation. Smoking adds flavor, tenderizes, and turns some of the worst cuts of meat into a wonderful meal.
Plank cooking infuses food with a unique aroma and flavor. The food is placed directly on the wood, the planks are not meant to be burned as wood chips are. This makes plank cooking more suitable for quicker cooking foods such as fish, vegetables or even fruit.
Be sure to check out our Smoke Infusion Cooking Kit for detailed recipes and techniques for using planks on the grill, stove or in the oven.
