Two Bitch™ Bourbon Barrel Smoking Chunks

Authentic Bourbon Barrel Wood for Smoking Meat | 2.5 lb Bucket | Big Chonk Approved

Your brisket called. It would like a bourbon.

Give your smoker a little more bite with Two Bitch™ Bourbon Barrel Smoking Chunks, made from authentic Two Bitch™ Bourbon barrel staves that have done the very important work of aging our bourbon—and are now reporting for their second shift at the barbecue.

Instead of tossing these beautiful American oak staves aside, we cut them into chunky, smoker-ready pieces so you can bring the character of a real bourbon barrel straight to your grill or smoker.

During the aging process, bourbon works its way deep into the oak, mingling with the wood's naturally occurring sugars and all those lovely toasted and charred barrel flavors. When the chunks are heated in your smoker, they produce a rich, aromatic smoke that can add layers of oak, caramelized sweetness, vanilla, char and warm bourbon-barrel character to your food.

In other words: this isn't ordinary smoking wood. This wood has a résumé.

Why Bourbon Barrel Smoking Chunks?

Bourbon barrels aren't just containers—they're part of what creates bourbon's flavor. Years of contact between whiskey and charred American oak pull flavor compounds and natural sugars from deep within the wood.

Once the bourbon leaves the barrel, that seasoned oak still has plenty of character left to give.

Adding bourbon barrel wood chunks to your smoker creates an aromatic hardwood smoke with a richer, sweeter personality than ordinary smoking wood. It's an easy way to add another layer of complexity without covering up the flavor of the meat.

And frankly, your brisket deserves better than anonymous wood from a plastic bag.

How Do I Use Bourbon Barrel Smoking Chunks?

Use them just as you would other hardwood smoking chunks.

Add a few chunks to the hot coals or appropriate wood-smoking area of your grill or smoker and allow them to begin producing smoke. Because smoking equipment, temperatures and personal preferences vary, start with a small amount and add more as needed.

No need to soak them first.

For the best barbecue, you're looking for a steady, flavorful smoke—not an emergency signal visible from three counties away.

What Flavor Do Bourbon Barrel Chunks Add?

Expect a rich oak smoke with characteristics associated with the barrel-aging process, including notes reminiscent of:

toasted oak • caramel • vanilla • char • warm baking spice • subtle bourbon sweetness

The final flavor will vary depending on the meat, cooking temperature, smoker and amount of wood used.

Are These Real Bourbon Barrels?

100%!

These chunks are cut from authentic Two Bitch™ Bourbon barrel staves—not wood chips sprayed with bourbon flavoring and not some poor innocent oak tree wearing a bourbon costume.

They've actually been part of the bourbon-making process.

What Meats Work Best With Bourbon Barrel Smoking Wood?

Bourbon barrel oak is especially delicious with richer meats that can stand up to a flavorful smoke, including beef brisket, pork ribs, pork shoulder, steak, burgers and wild game, but it's also fantastic for poultry when used with a lighter hand.

Experiment.

That's half the fun.

The other half is standing beside the smoker with a bourbon in your hand explaining to everyone else why they shouldn't touch anything yet.

How Much Comes in Each Bucket?

Each reusable bucket contains approximately 2.5 pounds of bourbon barrel smoking chunks.

That's 2.5 pounds of former bourbon-barrel glory waiting for its barbecue encore.
