Hickory Smoking Chips

Hickory chips enhance any red meat such as brisket or pork shoulder, as well as turkey and chicken. One of the most common wood chips for smoking, hickory imparts a sweet and smoky flavor to food. Some people compare the flavor it adds to bacon. Great for longer smoking times, hickory is robust and adds a strong flavor profile to meat. It pairs best with almost any protein and is great for cold-smoking cheese.
