What type of wood should I use for outdoor cooking?

Always use wood that well dry is and has not been impregnated. When cooking, you want to prevent harmful substances from ending up in your food.

Taste and experience

The type of wood influences the taste of your dish. Some types of wood give a delicious, subtle taste, while others leave an unpleasant taste.

Recommended types of wood

• 🍏 Applewood — gives a fruity, slightly sweet taste.
• 🍒 Cherrywood — provides a soft, fruity smoke flavor.
• 🍁 Maple wood — mild and slightly sweet, ideal for poultry or vegetables.

Types of wood to avoid

Avoid soft, resinous varieties such as pine, because they produce a bitter taste and a lot of smoke.
