Why alder makes a difference
Alder wood is known for its mild, slightly sweet smoke that complements rather than competes with the natural flavors of your ingredients. It’s a timeless choice for delicate proteins like salmon and trout, but it also pairs beautifully with chicken, turkey, shellfish, and even certain cheeses. With all-natural composition and no additives, you get a pure smoking experience that respects the integrity of your dish.

How to get the best results
-
Prepare your setup — whether you’re using a smoker box on a grill or a dedicated smoker, arrange chips to promote steady, even smoke.
-
Decide on moisture — for a slower burn and deeper aroma, soak chips for 30–60 minutes. If you prefer quicker, brighter smoke, use dry chips.
-
Control temperature — keep temperatures in the moderate range to achieve a balanced smoke without drying foods.
-
Monitor and adjust — start with a modest amount of chips and add more as needed to maintain a consistent, thin blue smoke.
Storage and care
Store the bag in a cool, dry place away from moisture to preserve the wood’s integrity. After opening, keep chips in an airtight container or re-seal the bag to maintain aroma and performance for your next smoke session.
