What is cherry smoking wood?
Cherry smoking wood is made from the wood of cherry trees. As a fruit tree, cherry produces a gentle smoke with a slight sweetness and a recognizable fruity aroma.
When heated, the chips or chunks smolder slowly and release aromatic smoke. This smoke penetrates the surface of the meat, creating a subtle layer of flavor and a characteristic color development.
