Directions
Fold one side of the foil over to completely cover the wood chips. Fold the opposite side to cover. Double-fold the two remaining sides to seal.
Cut 2-to-3-inch slits in the packet using a knife so smoke can escape the packet. Place packet on grill to create smoke.
Hyvee Culinary Expert Tip
For a charcoal grill, add soaked wood chips to the coals and grill over indirect heat. For a gas grill, create a smoke pack and place over medium heat to create smoke. Grill as directed with the lid closed to maintain smoke.
