Olive Wood Sawdust for Smoking Lacor Smokey 100g

For anyone who has a Lacor smoke infuser and needs to refill it with the wood it arrived with. The Magic leaves the factory with a 100g bag of olive in the box: this is its refill. For a venue it means the drink worked out on the supplied bag stays the same when that bag runs out.

It suits the bar that works on the Italian aperitivo. Olive is the wood in the range that sits with a list built on vermouth, bitters and amari. And it serves the kitchen, which uses it on cheese, fish and meat under a cloche.

At home olive wood sawdust is the spare bag for anyone who smokes a Negroni in the evening or a board for guests.

Load a pinch of sawdust into the burn chamber of the smoke infuser, light it and take the smoke where it is needed. At the bar there are two routes. The first is the cloche: the finished drink goes under the glass, the smoke fills the cloche and it is served at the table, where the guest watches it lifted. The second is the covered glass: fill the empty glass with smoke, cover it with a coaster and pour the drink when the order comes in.

In both cases contact lasts one or two minutes. Beyond that the smoke covers the spirit and the drink comes back. This is cold smoking: the smoke scents, it does not heat and it does not cook.

Olive wood sawdust: sawdust, not curls

The grain is that of a sawdust. It is finer than curls and chips, and Lacor states it for its portable smoke infusers. Anyone using another device should check in the manual which grain it takes, before ordering.

What Lacor states

The maker describes it as special wood sawdust with 99.9% purity. It states a dense smoke and a slow burn at low temperature, which leaves a delicate aroma on the food. It also states compliance with the regulations for food contact use. The content is given in grams on the maker’s website.

Which smoke infusers it is used with

Lacor states compatibility with its own smoke infusers: the Magic (reference 69221) and the Instant (reference 69321). For devices from other brands the maker states nothing, and we do not write it in its place: the grain is that of a sawdust, and every device says in its manual which grain it takes. Anyone with a different smoke infuser should check there before ordering.

A hundred grams: when it is enough

The small bag of olive wood sawdust is for a bar that smokes a few drinks a night or keeps several woods in rotation. It stays dry to the end, because it is used up before it takes on damp. A bar that smokes on every order should look at the 500g and 600g packs in the same range. The maker does not state how many smokes a bag gives.

Storage

Keep olive wood sawdust resealed and dry, away from the sink. There is no expiry date on the maker’s website.

Cloches, smoke infusers and other woods

Cloches, smoke infusers and the other woods are in the smoking category. The same range has the 100g orange and the 600g lemon.
