When you cook food over fire or smoke, it can become very tasty and have a special flavor. Smokies are a type of food that is cooked by putting meat in a special box where smoke from burning wood chips helps cook and flavor it. This makes the meat taste like smoke and have a nice color. People like to eat smokies at outdoor events like picnics or barbecues, and they can be made with different types of meat like pork, beef, or chicken. Even though they look like hot dogs, they taste different because of the smoked flavor.
