Chunks can be used either wet or dry. Using Chunks dry creates instant smoke, will not cause a drop in temperature, and gives off a light smoke flavor. If you are a fan of a more powerful smoke flavor, you can choose to soak the Chunks first. As a result, steam will develop first and the temperature in your barbecue will start to drop. Chunks in Cherry is ideal for smoking poultry, cheese, lamb, beef and pork due to its sweet, fruity but strong flavor.
