Napoleon Hickory Wood Chips

Bold hickory flavor is often associated with Southern barbecue. Soak hickory wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before smoking, or use other liquids such as beer, bourbon, ginger ale, cola, apple juice, pineapple juice, or cabernet sauvignon for added flavor. Remove the wood chips from the liquid and place them in a smoker tube, directly on the sear plates of a gas grill, on burning charcoal in a 3-in-1 charcoal grill and water smoker, or in a smoker tray on a gas grill. Once the chips begin to smoke, place your food on the grill and keep the lid closed to get the most out of the hickory smoke flavor.
