Here’s How to Use a Smoker
Take your outdoor cooking skills to the next level with a smoker. Smokers are not only easy to use but also bring a unique flavour that regular grilling can't replicate. Plus, they free up your time, allowing you to mingle with your guests while your food cooks to perfection. In this article, we'll share some essential tips, tricks, and safety measures to help you make the most out of your smoker and prepare some delicious smoked wings.
Prep your Wings the Day Before
Before you start smoking, it's crucial to prepare the wings and let them marinate to enhance their flavour. Here's a simple and tasty Al Pastor Marinade recipe to get you started:

Bring out the Flavour
Place your marinated wings on the smoker's grill. The smokiness from the wood pellets will provide a flavour that ordinary grilling can't match. For a variety of tastes, experiment with different wood pellets, ranging from sweet to savoury flavours.
