Usted probablemente está pensando en muchos más huéspedes potenciales para el covid-19 en un esfuerzo para mantener a todos los importantes para usted seguro y saludable. Sin duda, todo lo que toca tiene el potencial de ser huésped para el virus que se está propagando tan rápidamente por todo el mundo. Es sin duda, un momento de miedo. Es posible que usted no sepa que SmokinLicious® siempre se ha comprometido a proteger a nuestros clientes de la transferencia de contaminantes potenciales.

No cualquier proveedor de madera

En nuestro artículo publicó anteriormente titulado “Términos clarificar utilizados para la venta de madera para ahumar y asar,” https://www.smokinlicious.com/blog/smoking-grilling-wood-selling-terms-demystified/ intentamos explicar lo que las diferentes palabras utilizadas para describir la preparación de la madera vendida para asar a la parrilla y ahumar realmente significaba. El punto importante para tomar de este artículo es que esas “etiquetas” diversas no se relacionan con lo que puede asegurar de que la bacteria y los agentes virales no sobrevivan si se agarran a la madera para actuar como huésped para los dos. Al final, somos el único proveedor actual que no sólo vende madera dura con el fin de cocinar, sino que utiliza un proceso de tratamiento térmico que está en un nivel para garantizar que ninguno agente microbiano ni viral pueda aferrarse a la madera e infectar al usuario.

Aunque utilizamos un nivel de calor intenso de 75 oC/167 oF, desarrollamos un método para garantizar que la madera no se seca al punto de leña, algo con lo que nunca queremos ser comparados.

Sabemos que algunas esporas fúngicas sólo mueren a 60 oC/140 oF, esporas de moho a 56 oC/133 oF y listeria a 74 oC/165,2 oF. Aunque no hay datos confirmados sobre el nivel de calor que matar covid-19, si sabemos que la luz del sol hace que el agente viral sólo sobreviva unas horas, dada la intensidad de los rayos ultravioleta. Esto sugiere que el calor tenga un papel importante en la reducción de la supervivencia del virus.

La normativa vigente para la madera simplemente no garantiza la seguridad. Nuestros esfuerzos refuerzan que la bacteria potencialmente mortal no puede entrar en nuestra cadena alimentaria. Puede manejar nuestros envases y cocinar con nuestros productos sabiendo que hemos hecho nuestra parte para garantizar que no haya transferencia de bacterias ni agentes infecciosos.

¿Puede su leña local u otro proveedor de madera hacer la misma afirmación? SmokinLicious® – la marca pura, limpia y segura para cocinar.

Our 75-75 rule for our Thermal Heating process

You’re limiting your time in stores and other public places. You’ve taken to online shopping as well as searching for ways to keep your meals interesting and flavorful. You’re ready to do more grilling in order to keep the family in the household yard, getting some fresh air and UV light when available. The only concern you have is, how safe is it to receive all these packages at home? Won’t they be hosts to the virus as well?

Your concern is certainly a valid one and most definitely has basis. Let’s examine this concern further and explain how the SmokinLicious® procedures protect you.

Why our Thermal Heating Process Makes a Difference

Since 2005, every product manufactured by SmokinLicious® undergoes our Thermal heating process that is a 4-probe computerized system to ensure optimum function of our chamber. Because we know some fungi spores are only killed at 60°C/140°F, mold spores at 56°C/133°F, and listeria at 74°C/165.2°F, we exceed any regulation for heat level and duration in order to protect the food chain system. Currently, we use a temperature of 75°C/167°F for a sustained duration of 75 minutes. We also developed a re-hydration process within our chamber to ensure the hardwood is not depleted of all moisture enabling it to be used for a variety of live fire cooking methods.

The Smokinlicious custom air handling system

You’re likely at the point where you’re starting to ask a few more questions about the handling of some items you purchase that previously may never have been given a second thought. You also may be receiving frequent updates from suppliers apprising you of the steps they are taking to ensure no viral agents are being transferred with products they are handling.

Air Handling- Our Priority to Provide for a Healthy Product Line

This is the point where SmokinLicious® is different. Handling and cleanliness of our products has been a priority from the start. We worked to establish our procedures and improve on them as our business grew.

Air Handling- Dust Free Products

Currently, we have in place an air collection system that allows us to capture our sawdust and wood chip products utilizing clean air piping that provides for a dust-free product outcome, cleaner air for our employees to work in, and ease of moving the products from the collection bins to the finished packaging areas. An added benefit, the product is not exposed to human handling. Our employees handle the bins of finished product initially, then stage these for packaging as needed.

Our products are not stored as raw material on the ground or floors. There are dedicated storage bins for each level of product that can easily be disinfected with natural, food-grade disinfectant methods as needed.

For SmokinLicious®, steps were already in place to maintain a healthy safe environment for our employees and products that make this recent pandemic concern easily managed by us.

It’s further piece of mind that we can continue to supply our pure, clean cooking woods for those that value the benefits of live fire cooking, whether on the grill, fire pit, smoker or fireplace. Embrace the safety and ease of grilling at home once again with the incomparable flavor of wood.

Wood Safety

You’re likely giving thought to many more potential hosts for the COVID-19 in an effort to keep everyone important to you safe and healthy. Without question, everything you touch has the potential to be a host for the virus that is spreading so rapidly around the world. It is without question, a scary time. What you likely don’t realize is SmokinLicious® has always been committed to protecting our customers from the transfer of potential contaminants.

Our Commitment for Wood Safety- Not Just Any Wood Supplier

In our previously published article titled, DEMYSTIFYING TERMS USED FOR SELLING SMOKING & GRILLING WOOD we attempted to explain what the varying words used to describe preparation to wood sold for grilling and smoking actually meant. The important point to take from this article is that these various “labels” don’t relate to what can assure bacterium and viral agents don’t survive if they grab onto the wood to ride as a viral or bacteria host. In the end, we are the only current supplier who not only sells hardwood only for the purpose of cooking, but utilizes a heat treatment process that is at a level to ensure no microbial or viral agent can latch on to the wood and infect the user.

Even though we use an intense heat level of 75°C/167°F, we developed a method to ensure the hardwood is not dried out to to where it would be classified as firewood, something we never want to be compared with.

Remember, we know some fungi spores are only killed at 60 °C/140 °F, mold spores at 56 °C/133 °F, and listeria at 74 °C/165.2 °F. Although there is no confirmed data on the heat level that COVID-19 dies, we do know that sunlight results in the viral agent only surviving a few hours, given the intensity of the ultraviolet rays. This suggests that heat does play an important role in reducing the virus surviving.

The current regulations in place for wood just don’t make assurances to safety. Our efforts reinforce that potentially fatal bacterium cannot enter our food chain. You can handle our packaging and cook with our products knowing we’ve done our part to ensure no transfer of bacterium or infectious agent.

Can your local firewood or other wood supplier make the same claim? SmokinLicious® – the brand that’s pure, clean, and safe for cooking.
