Have you ever cooked a meal over an open flame? If not, then you’re in for a treat! There is something undeniably special about cooking with wood. Not only does it provide an amazing culinary experience, but the best part of it is the flavor.

Whether you’re planning to smoke chicken, beef, pork, or fish, choosing the right type of firewood for cooking is essential to achieve the perfect flavor. If you smoke meat using only charcoal, then you are missing out. While charcoal is...
There's nothing new about cooking with a wood fire, but the fact is, the world’s oldest cooking method has returned as one of the great modern culinary frontiers.
