Alder smoking chips, coarse 2 mm/16 mm, 15 kg

Alder is well suited to smoking, as it gives a relatively mild flavour and a dark golden colour to smoked foods. Used, among others, by smokehouses on Bornholm for smoked Bornholm herring. All our smoking dust products can be used for both cold and hot smoking. The principle behind using dust and chips is that dust produces smoke, while chips are mainly used to provide heat. By combining the two according to your own preference, you can achieve exactly the combination you feel is ideal for the particular product you want to smoke. 100% pure alder from a German producer Do you have high standards for your smoking dust? Dansk Hjemmeproduktion does. That's why we have now teamed up with Dansk Træmel, a respected company and Denmark's largest supplier of smoking dust for home smoking and other wood flour products. When it comes to making smoked delicacies, ever greater demands are placed on the food itself, yet until now no corresponding demands have been made of the smoking dust/chips used in the smoking process. The smoky flavour of the finished product is crucial to the taste experience, just as the golden colour is crucial to its appearance. It is well known that felled wood left lying develops germs, yeasts and moulds – a process that starts just a few days after the tree is felled. Smoking dust made from old wood will contain large amounts of these, and the aroma of fresh beech will have turned into a dull, musty smell. Much smoking dust is made from waste wood from the furniture industry. Apart from this wood having very little aroma, there is also a latent risk that wood treated with glue and other chemicals ends up in the milling process. In collaboration with Europe's largest sawmill, Dansk Træmel has developed a smoking dust concept that ensures an exceptional raw material, where the aroma is preserved, where the above-mentioned bacteria can only be detected in very small amounts, far below the limit values, and where chemicals are 100% certain not to be present. The felled wood lies in the forest for just a few days before it is collected and taken to the sawmill, where it is debarked and sawn up. The sawdust from the sawing goes straight to heat treatment, which stops the growth of bacteria and preserves the wood's pale colour. The sawdust is then transported to their factory in Esbjerg, where the raw material is milled, dedusted, sorted and bagged. Dansk Træmel would have liked to offer an organic product, but unfortunately this isn't possible, as there are no regulations for organic wood. However, it is their view that you can't get closer to an organic product than what Dansk Træmel offers. The products are regularly analysed by the food safety authorities, ensuring consistency and high quality.
