mesquite chips
Grilling flavor source
Mesquite chips are small pieces of mesquite wood used for smoking food, especially meat.
The chips smolder rather than burn, producing aromatic smoke that imparts a distinctive sweet, earthy flavor: I soaked the mesquite chips before adding them to the grill.
Mesquite burns hotter and produces stronger flavor than milder woods like apple or hickory.
