Flavored wood chips Chips of mesquite, fruit or nut trees. The chips serve as flavor enhancers for charcoal fires. Most call for soaking the chips before tossing onto the fire, resulting in fragrant smoke.

Seasoned hardwood Aged (dried) oak and fruitwood logs, either purchased or culled from your own yard. Not practical for use in lightweight metal grills but good for outdoor stone or brick fireplaces. Let the logs burn brightly for a while until the flames die down, leaving glowing hot coals for cooking.
