View all Grill Fanatics productsLemon chunks are a surprising choice for barbecue enthusiasts who want to give their dishes a fresh and refined smoky flavour. These chunks provide a mild smoke with subtle citrusy notes, giving ingredients a lighter and more vibrant flavour accent. Ideal for those who want something different from the classic, heavier smoking woods.
What are lemon chunks?
Lemon chunks are coarse pieces of naturally dried wood that release a soft, aromatic smoke when glowing. This smoke has a light, fresh, and fruity undertone that complements lighter dishes well. The result is a subtle smoking experience that doesn't overpower but rather adds extra refinement.
What does this smoke pair well with?
Lemon chunks are particularly well-suited for fish, chicken, and vegetables. Think of salmon, prawns, chicken fillet, or grilled courgette, fennel, and bell peppers. This fresh smoky flavour also pairs exceptionally well with Mediterranean dishes or barbecue dishes seasoned with herbs like thyme, rosemary, and garlic. This way, you give your dishes a light, sunny twist from the barbecue.
How does lemon compare to other smoking woods?
Lemonwood is lighter and fresher in taste than, for example, oak, hickory, or whisky/oak mix chunks. While those woods primarily provide strength, depth, and spiciness, lemon is all about subtlety and a refined citrus note. This makes it an excellent choice for those seeking less heavy smoke and who want ingredients to shine in their own character.
How to use lemon chunks?
Lemon chunks are intended for use in a charcoal barbecue, kamado, or other charcoal grill. Place a few chunks among the hot coals and let them start smoking gently before placing the dish on the barbecue. Preferably use them for indirect cooking, so the smoke can circulate nicely around the dish. This way, you gradually build up a soft, fresh smoky flavour that perfectly matches light barbecue dishes.
