Directions to grill with Wood Chips:

For flavourful smoke, soak wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes.

Remove chips from water and drain.

For gas or electric grills: use a smoker box or wrap 1 or 2 cups of chips in foil, punch holes and place over heated grates.

When chips begin to smoke, move them over to cooler side of the grill and cook your food.

For charcoal grills: place woodchips around hot charcoal.

Avoid opening the grill during smoking process to enhance the smoke flavour.
