목재가 흡연 및 굽기에 안전하지 않은 이유
전문가의 관점에서 보면, 목재가 훈제와 그릴에 적합하지 않은 이유를 이해하는 것이 중요합니다. 일반적으로 가공되고 종종 건축 목적으로 화학적으로 처리된 목재는 요리에 사용하면 상당한 건강 위험을 초래합니다. 가공되지 않은 원목을 의미하는 목재와 달리 목재는 변형되고 독성 화학 물질에 노출되었을 수 있는 목재를 포함합니다. 이러한 화학 물질은 목재를 태우면 유해한 재와 연기를 방출할 수 있습니다.
The importance of seasoned firewood
Seasoning firewood properly enhances grilling. Splitting wood evenly ensures faster drying and uniform burning, while storing it off the ground prevents mold. Choosing between split and whole logs is crucial; split logs light easily but burn quickly, whereas whole logs offer a longer burn.
Ideal firewood for grilling has a moisture content below 40%, with many professionals preferring around 20% for consistent heat. Assessing this moisture, either through a supplier or with a moisture meter, is vital for preparing firewood that optimizes grilling results.
