Meet Your Tactical Team: The Woods

1. Orange Wood | The Citrus Grenade

* Flavour Profile: Mild, sweet, and citrusy with a touch of tang.

* Best For: Chicken breasts, pork chops, and ribs.

* Intel: Orange wood delivers a gentle smoke that brings out the best in poultry and pork, giving your meat a golden hue and a fresh, zesty finish. It’s perfect for lighter cuts and ideal for marinades with lemon, orange, or honey.

2. Wine Barrel Oak | The Veteran

* Flavour Profile: Deep oak smoke with hints of red wine, spice, and subtle fruit.

* Best For: Pork loin, pork belly, and chicken thighs.

* Intel: Wine barrel oak infuses meat with rich, layered flavours—think earthy, a little fruity, and slightly spicy. It’s the backbone of your platoon, adding complexity and depth to every mission.

3. Peach Wood | The Sweet Sniper

* Flavour Profile: Delicate, sweet, and fruity with a mellow smoke.

* Best For: Chicken wings, pork sausages, and tenderloins.

* Intel: Peach wood is famous for its sweet aroma and flavour, pairing perfectly with pork and poultry. It’s subtle enough not to overpower, but strong enough to leave a memorable mark.

4. Plum Wood | The Stealth Specialist

* Flavour Profile: Mild, slightly sweet, and fruity with a mellow finish.

* Best For: Pulled pork, chicken drumsticks, and bacon.

* Intel: Plum wood is your secret advantage—its smoke is gentle, with a fruitiness that’s less intense than mesquite but more interesting than apple. It adds a beautiful colour and a touch of sweetness to any pork or chicken cut.

Mission Brief: How to Deploy The Platoon

Step 1: Choose Your Target

* Chicken: Use orange + peach for a light, sweet smoke. Perfect for whole birds, thighs, or wings.

* Pork: Pair wine barrel oak + plum for deep, complex flavour—ideal for pork belly, ribs, or pulled pork.

Step 2: Prep for Battle

* Marinate: Try citrus, honey, or mustard-based marinades for chicken; apple cider, garlic, or brown sugar rubs for pork.

* Rub: Salt, pepper, and a touch of smoked paprika work wonders.

Step 3: Fire Up the Grill

* Temperature: Smoke chicken at 110–120°C for juicy results; pork at 120–130°C for tenderness.

* Spritz: Use apple juice or orange juice to keep meat moist and boost the fruit notes.

Step 4: Victory Feast

* Serve your smoked spoils with grilled peaches, pickled onions, or a fresh herb salad. Don’t forget a salute to the chef!
