Product Info

These Smoke Shavings are inexpensive and fun to use to add a blast of flavour to your cooking. Simply toss a bag of your preferred flavour of shavings into a tin foil tray after soaking them and then pop that onto your braai-ready coals and let the smoke do its magic while you braai your fish, meat, chicken or veggie skewers as normal. Smoking your food will give it an extra depth of flavour and elevate the regular braai to a gourmet event

Wood shavings to add that extra delicious smoke to the fire
Wild Olive is ideal for any poultry
Has a lovely fruity flavour

Oak: Imparts a deep, smoky flavour — great for red meat and game; this is probably the best wood for the best steak
Cherry: A subtle, mild, fruity flavour — excellent for poultry, fish, vegetables and fruit. This wood should be used when you want to compliment the flavour of your food and not overpower it
Cedar: The traditional wood used for fish — also fantastic for fruit and seafood. Cedar imparts a sweet, spicy flavour
Maple: Great for smoking fruits and cheeses
Wild Olive: Ideal for smoking any poultry, has a lovely fruity flavour and adds sweetness
Walnut: Delivers a heavy smoke and is excellent for strong-flavoured red meat and game

How it works:

Soak the wood shavings in liquid (water or other beverages) for 10 – 20 minutes
Create a tin foil tray and place shavings in the centre of the tray
Place the tray directly onto coals in your charcoal braai, add food to the grid and close the lid
If using a smoker, follow the instructions of your specific smoker
If using a gas braai, you'll need a smoker box to use the shavings
