DID YOU KNOW? You can food smoke on any BBQ with a lid, so try it out before buying a dedicated smoker. All you will require are wood chips which can be placed directly on the fire or make a pouch out of tin foil with 2 small holes on each side for the smoke to escape from. For best results place a handful of wood chips or wood pellets in smoker box which is placed directly on the fire to produce a steady flow of rich smoke.
DID YOU KNOW? Although smokers are specially designed to smoke food, they can also be used to BBQ (Grill), Roast Water Smoke and steam food.
DID YOU KNOW? Smoking food is easy and requires less hands on time than traditional barbecuing grilling. This is because once your fires going the smoker does the rest and your meat won't burn as it is not directly above the fire.
DID YOU KNOW? Hot smoking requires you to make a fire using charcoal briquettes and then to place wood chips on the fire, preferably in a container so they smolder rather than flame. Many people new to food smoking think you only need smoke - hot smoking does require heat and cooks the food rather than curing which is a cold smoking process and is a totally different.
Which BBQ Smoker is right for me?
If you are new to food smoking then consider the Amigo Vertical Smoker, not only a great smoker it can also be used as a BBQ (grill), roaster or water smoker as well. It also has enough cooking capacity to cook for both family and friends.
If you like to BBQ most of the time and smoke occasionally, then consider the Chargriller horizontal smokers as these have a large grill area and are also great for indirect cooking, (this is where you have your fire on one half and you meat on the other). By the way indirect cooking is much healthier as the meat doesn't get burnt.
For the expert food smoker we have recently introduced the Rumo Special Edition Smoker which is similar to the Cimarron Heavy-Gauge Charcoal / Wood Smoker & Grill, made in Germany to exceptionally high standards and is in a class of its own. If you need further help then call us on 01483-550694 |
