Mesquite is a heavy, slightly spicy smoking wood, relied upon to complement the strongest food flavours, but not one for anything light and delicate! This dust version is dense, textured and full-coloured. Team with any robust flavoured foods, particularly red meats and spiced foods and a natural complement to cajun cooking of South Western USA.

The dust is around 1 to 3mm in size and combines a heavy ‘flour’ consistency with larger particles, so this flavour is not always the most reliable in a cold smoke generator, but it can be mixed with Oak to help sustain the slow smoulder required for cold smoke production. It will, however, work well in a Camerons hot smoker for a touch of hot smoking – though be warned, you won’t need much!

Pack size is approximately 500g giving you enough dust for around 5 cold smoking sessions. Packaged in sealed cellophane bags. Reseal bags after use, store in a cool dry place and your wood chips will be great for smoking for up to 2 years.

Sourced sustainably from managed woodlands in the USA and produced specifically for food use.
