Cedar & Wild Olive Smoking Wood Shavings Combo

How do I use my shavings / chips? 

Soak your wooden chips / shavings in water for about 30 minutes. This generates steam that adds moisture and heat to the smoking process. This method also prolongs burning time. The key with wood chips & shavings is to deny the wood of oxygen so it smoulders and smokes.
