Orange Wood Sawdust for Smoking Lacor Smokey 100g

For a bar that works with orange every day. Negroni, Americano, Old Fashioned and spritz already have the peel or the slice in the glass: an orange wood smoke stays in the same register and does not take the drink somewhere else. For a bar manager it is the wood for the first smoked version of a drink already on the list.

It also suits a bar that keeps two or three woods and alternates them through the week. A hundred grams of orange wood sawdust takes little space on the back bar and leaves no large packs open for months.

At home orange wood sawdust is the bag for anyone who has a Lacor smoke infuser and wants to try a Negroni under a cloche with friends.

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.

Orange wood sawdust: the grain

It is a sawdust, finer than curls and chips. Lacor states it for its portable smoke infusers. With a device from another brand, check the permitted grain in the manual before ordering: it is the mistake that costs a pack.

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.

Smoke in front of the guest

Smoking is a gesture the table watches. The cloche arrives full of smoke, is lifted, and the drink is seen afterwards. It is the reason a smoked drink sells at a different price from the same drink without smoke. It works if the gesture is short: at peak service two minutes under the cloche is the limit, and the smoke is prepared while the drink is being finished.

Storage

Keep orange wood sawdust resealed and dry. The maker gives no expiry date on its website.
