♦️THE BASICS FOR SMOKING:

Botanicals or spices:

  – Use of a blowtorch with botanicals or spices

  – Examples: cinnamon, fresh rosemary

  – Decorative use by bartenders due to the pleasant aroma

 

♦️Wood:

  – Suitable types with a low resin content

  – Composition: cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin

  – Lignin decomposes at around 300°C

  – Aromas released at around 400°C

  – Types: apple tree (light and fruity), mesquite (intense and aromatic), hickory (sweet, used on barbecues)
