The Art of BBQ Smoking: A Beginner's Complete Guide To BBQ Smoke and Wood Flavors

In this video, I'll give you a complete guide to BBQ smoking and wood flavors. I'll talk about the different types of wood, the type of food they best pair with, the pros and cons of each wood, and things to look out for. I'll also talk about the myths to smoking wood like soaking them in water. Then I'll talk about bad smoke vs good smoke. What the differences are between black, grey, white, and blue smoke. When should you use smoke when grilling and which wood do I prefer?

I had a pitmaster once say to me that wood smoke should be treated as a condiment, just like salt and pepper. Too much (or the wrong type) can ruin your protein.

[@tomwadek]

Definitely. I treat it just like that. Sometimes you want more sometimes you want less. I would agree. Thanks for watching. Cheers!

Super informative! 11:14 Have you ever gotten lucky with the snake method on a kettle? Would love to know the conditions that led up to such a magical experience! E.g. # of starting briquets, layout of the charcoal, did you cover it once starting briquets were placed? Also setting of intake and exhaust air valves.

[@tomwadek]

Yes I have. I use to use it all the time but these days I prefer the diffuser plate.

[@jeoffbenzos4959]

You mentioned combining Cherry and Hickory. What would you use that for? Any other good combos I should try? I've mostly just used Hickory but want to try something new.

[@tomwadek]

I've tried that combo and enjoyed it on turkey and lamb
