Summer is the time when the tantalizing aroma of barbecue wafts from every summer cottage.
At the same time, not every summer resident knows for sure which firewood is suitable for cooking meat on coals, and which are fraught with health problems.
It's time to find out which types of wood are not suitable for making flavorful meat.
What kind of wood can't you use to grill shashlik?
First, forget about absolutely all coniferous trees. When burning, conifers release resins and toxic substances that get into the meat along with the smoke, making it unfit for consumption.
Therefore, forget about cooking shashlik on spruce and pine wood and it is better to make a regular fire from them.
Also, you should not put firewood from elm, rowan, acacia or poplar into the grill.
The fact is that the above-mentioned tree species, like a sponge, absorb harmful substances from the atmosphere, and generously release them back during combustion.
