What is citrus smoking wood?
Citrus smoking wood is made from the wood of citrus trees. This type of wood has a fine structure and produces a soft, stable smoke with fresh and slightly sweet undertones.
When heated, citrus smoking chunks release a subtle smoke that adheres nicely to the surface of meat, fish, or vegetables. The result is an accessible and refined flavor development.
Why choose citrus smoking wood?
- Fresh and fruity smoke flavor
- Lightly sweet citrus undertone
- More subtle than heavy woods like hickory
- Ideal for fish, chicken, and vegetables
- Perfect for low & slow and shorter sessions
Citrus adds extra character to dishes without overpowering them.
