Barbecue pit products

Smoked meats are meats preserved and flavored by prolonged exposure to wood smoke.

The process cures the meat while imparting distinctive flavors depending on the wood used—hickory, mesquite, applewood.

Smoked meats include bacon, ham, brisket, and various sausages.

The term often appears in Jewish deli contexts: pastrami and other smoked meats.
