Cooking meat slowly so that it gets an aromatic, hardwood smoky flavor has been a part of
American cooking for a very long time now. In fact, smoking houses were built in the early days
with the only purpose of preserving meat. The many hams and smoked bacon we see today are
living evidences of this wonderful way of smoking food, and of course our favorite barbecue.
Smokers have been around for generations symbolizing how people have well-like smoked food.
They may not be as popularly used compared to the stove or microwave oven these days, but
they are largely used as traditional barbecue grills. Old experts believe that low and slow cooking
is the way awesome barbecue is made.
There are two different methods of smoking - the hot and cold smoking. Hot smoking involves heat
by enclosing the meat in a smoker and let hot smoke pass through the food. Aromatic woods such
as hickory and apple are added to the fire to produce strong scent while the smoke penetrates the
meat imparting rich flavor. The cold smoking method smokes the meat or fish without exposing it
to heat. Food is kept in an enclosure separated from the source of heat, and the smoke is cooled
before it is introduced to the smoking chamber. Food to be cold-smoked are usually salted or
brined before smoking. The salt cures the meat as a way to preserve meat from bacteria.
These days, smoking food can be easier. Some modern smokers are made with digital technology
and maintaining temperature has become very easy. There are even companies manufacturing
custom-built smokers to suit a client's specifications. You can choose between gas, electric, or
traditional charcoal or wood to use. Wood chips, briquettes, or sawdust usually go with the
purchase.
Buying a meat smoker today may be a little confusing from the many different types available. You
will see every size, shape and make that you can imagine. This broadly shows how Americans still
value the smoking method. When buying a smoker, consider the number of people you cook for so
that you get a reasonably-sized smoker. From the reputable sites online selling smokers, you will
get the best quality and price to fit your budget.
Having a smoker in the house will allow you to cook more delicious, flavorful and nutritious meals
for friends and guests. It is the secret to the ever-present and aromatic barbecue smoked to
perfection that would give you a cookout that's one of a kind.
