If possible though, for best results, you may want to soak your skewers overnight. It can take awhile for the skewers to absorb any water, so overnight will yield the best results.

This will add a little more flavor over going the traditional water soak method.   If you need to buy skewers in bulk for your barbecue you can check out our store here.
