Frequently asked questions

What are the best wood chips for smoking different types of meat?

Choosing the right wood chip depends on the meat you're cooking. Apple wood chips offer a mild, sweet smoke ideal for poultry, pork, and fish. Hickory delivers a strong, savoury flavour perfect for beef and richer meats. For an all-rounder, oak or cherry wood adds medium smoke intensity and pairs well with most proteins. At The Meat Man, we offer premium-grade wood chips, including hickory and apple, to match your specific flavour goals.

Do I need to soak BBQ wood chips before using them?

Soaking wood chips isn't required, and in most cases, it can delay smoke production rather than enhance it. Our premium BBQ wood chips are crafted to deliver clean, immediate smoke when added dry, ideal for both short cooks and low-and-slow smoking. We recommend using them dry in a smoker box or wrapped in foil for gas grills, or directly on hot coals for charcoal setups.

Are your BBQ wood chips suitable for all types of smokers and grills?

Yes, The Meat Man’s BBQ wood chips are compatible with most types of smokers and grills, including gas, charcoal, and electric models. Simply use a smoker box for gas grills, or place chips directly on hot coals in charcoal grills. Our chips are food-safe, made from 100% natural Australian timber with no additives, offering versatility and quality for both commercial kitchens and backyard BBQs.

What makes your BBQ wood chips different from those in supermarkets?

Unlike mass-produced chips, our BBQ wood chips are curated for professional results. We source from trusted Australian timber suppliers and ensure our chips are free from chemicals, artificial flavouring, or filler woods. This ensures a cleaner burn, better flavour, and consistent smoke, qualities that top chefs and serious pitmasters demand. When flavour and safety matter, The Meat Man delivers excellence in every chip.

Can I mix different wood chips for custom flavour profiles?

Absolutely! Blending wood chips is a great way to create unique flavour layers. For example, combining strong hickory with milder apple or cherry can balance intensity and add sweetness to pork or poultry. Many chefs use custom blends to differentiate their dishes. Our wood chips are all-natural, allowing for clean flavour pairings without off-notes or chemical interference.
