Electric Smoker Wood Chips Or Pellets

Both smoking tools are great offer a naturally smoky flavor and are relatively inexpensive to purchase.

Electric smoker wood chips or pellets.

But there are a handful of differences between the two tools that any smoker worth the name needs to be aware of. As discussed above with an electric smoker you have to add either wood chips or pellets into the base of the smoker to actually get a smoky flavour into your food. Rather than providing an even smoking flavor as wood pellets do wood chips provide bursts of its natural smoke flavors. Use chips one time pellets the next and then compare.

If not use some aluminum tin foil wrap it around either the chips or pellets prick some hole into it and let it smoke. With a true pellet smoker on the other hand as all of the heat is coming from burning bbq wood pellets you will typically get a more intense smoky flavour from a pellet smoker. Some woods such as many fruit woods produce a mild muted flavor.
