Smoking wood chips

Borniak - Wooden Chips
for Smokers

Wood chips resemble spices in that their suitability varies depending on the tree species they originate from—certain types are better for fish, others for pork, and yet others for poultry. The smoke emanating from these smoldering chips infuses the food, imparting a distinct color and aroma characteristic of the wood utilized.

The real enjoyment comes from experimenting with different chip blends to craft unique recipes.

However, it’s crucial to ensure the wood chips you use are completely natural, devoid of any chemical additives, dust, or impurities. Borniak wood chips stand out for their cleanliness and dust-free quality, producing a pure, smoke-free experience.
