Flavour Guide: MEDIUM

*NEW* Now supplied in strong, natural kraft bags. FSC certified, sustainable, renewable and can be recycled many times.

Supplied in money saving 1kg bags, our Apple wood dust has a rounded, fairly heavy smoke flavour with a tiny hint of sweetness. It is a favourite for charcuterie and meats as well as fish and cold smoked cheeses. The wood is dark in colour and the dust consistency can vary from batch to batch, but it’s usually a combination of dusty fine particles and slightly larger rice sized flakes.

As the dust particle size isn’t consistent, it’s not always suitable for cold smoking in mesh style tray cold smokers such as the ProQ Cold Smoke Generator  but it is still widely used for this application. If the consistency is on the larger side it’s worth mixing with a smaller particle dust such as Beech which will act as a subsidiary flavour whilst maintaining smoulder power! It is suitable for stainless steel tray style smokers such as the Camerons.

This 1kg bag will give you 100 hours of cold smoking in a ProQ generator. Packaged in cellophane bags your dust will be kept dry, though we recommend the bags are resealed after use and stored in a cool dry place. This way your wood dust will deliver great results for up to 2 years.

Also available in 500g bags £6.95 and larger 5kg bulk pack £34 (For larger volumes from 15kg, please get in touch for our wholesale price list at info@hotsmoked.co.uk)
