Grilling Professionals Talk About the Wood That Makes Meat Tastier 0 13

When you crave romance and truly delicious kebabs, experts recommend using wood. The best choice is fruit trees, but there is one secret that not everyone knows.

Chefs assert that it is the “live wood” that helps achieve high-quality kebabs.

The best options are birch, oak, and apple trees. Oak wood provides excellent heat.

Apple wood is also good, but it produces a bit more smoke.

Birch wood retains heat well but can create soot.

Additionally, kebab makers recommend using wood from pear, cherry, and apricot trees.

For cooking poultry kebabs (chicken, duck, or goose), alder and aspen are suitable, as they impart a flavor similar to game kebabs, although the heat from them is not as strong.

Grape vine is considered the best material for charcoal, as kebabs cooked on it acquire a unique taste and aroma.

However, finding a sufficient amount of dry grape vine for kebabs can be challenging.
