Western BBQ smoking chips are primarily used to add wood smoke flavor to food cooked on gas and charcoal grills or electric smokers. Second only to apple in popularity growth, cherry wood also adds a similar mild and fruity smoke flavor as apple but with a bit more punch. Cherry can be mixed with other fruit woods to develop a custom flavor. It can be used with vegetables, seafood, ribs, chicken, steaks, venison and beef-based sausages.
