To produce these bisquettes, the hardwood chippings are bound together using precise quantities, at controlled pressures and densities. The variety of wood being burned determined the flavour of the smoke. This bisquettes burns a flavour bisquette once every 20 minutes, producing a clean smoke flavour. As each is burnt, it is gently pushed from the burner element by the next bisquette, to be extinguished in the pot of water. The cycle continues for as long as the smoker is loaded with briquettes. When wood burns, the smoke flavour is produced in the initial minutes of the burn. Once the wood generates enough heat to keep burning on its own, it yields high temperatures, acids, resins, and gases. These will distort the flavour and the appearance of smoked food. When wood burns to this stage, there is no control over the cooking conditions. Not only do these bisquettes eliminate unwanted heat, but the smoke also produced way is four times cleaner than smoke produced by identical loose chips burned in a frying pan or burn box.
