Lumber Jack Wood Pellets
Lumber Jack Wood Pellets are premium all-natural BBQ pellets made for pellet grills, smokers, and wood-fired outdoor cooking. Known for their strong smoke output, consistent heat, and wide range of wood varieties, Lumber Jack pellets are a favorite among backyard cooks and competition BBQ teams alike. These pellets are made from real hardwood with no artificial flavors, fillers, or binders, delivering true wood-smoke flavor with every cook.
Why Lumber Jack Pellets Stand Out
Lumber Jack is unique in the pellet world because they offer both pure single-species pellets and purpose-built blends, allowing grillers to dial in exactly how much smoke and flavor they want. Many of their pellets use oak as a base wood for stable heat while layering in flavor woods like hickory, cherry, apple, and pecan for rich, balanced smoke.
Complete Lumber Jack Flavor & Blend Lineup
Lumber Jack offers one of the most diverse pellet catalogs available today, covering mild fruitwoods, classic hardwoods, bold smoke profiles, and even charcoal-infused blends.
- Competition Blend (Maple, Hickory & Cherry) — their most popular blend, balanced for everyday grilling and competition-style barbecue.
- Supreme Blend (Oak, Hickory & Cherry) — a slightly bolder version of the Competition Blend with strong heat output and classic BBQ flavor.
- Hickory — bold, smoky, and ideal for ribs, pork shoulders, and brisket.
- Hickory Blend — oak-based blend with hickory for smoother heat and controlled smoke.
- Apple Blend — mild, slightly sweet smoke great for pork, poultry, and fish.
- Fruitwood Blend — a mix of fruitwoods that produces a sweet, aromatic smoke.
- Cherry — rich, slightly sweet smoke that also gives meat a beautiful mahogany color.
- Pecan Blend — smooth, nutty smoke that pairs well with almost any protein.
- Oak — clean-burning hardwood that provides steady heat and light smoke.
- Mesquite Blend — bold, spicy Southwest-style smoke for beef and game meats.
- Char Hickory — a unique blend of hickory, oak, and charcoal that adds a grilled, charcoal-style flavor while still working in pellet grills.
Performance & Cooking Uses
Lumber Jack pellets are designed to burn hot, clean, and consistently, making them ideal for long low-and-slow barbecue sessions as well as high-heat grilling. Their blends are engineered to provide predictable smoke output without overwhelming food, while their single-species pellets allow cooks to build custom smoke profiles by mixing woods.
These pellets perform well in all major pellet grill brands and are commonly used for brisket, ribs, pulled pork, chicken, turkey, seafood, pizza, and even baking.
Where to Buy
Lumber Jack pellets are widely distributed across the United States through BBQ retailers, farm and feed stores, home improvement centers, and online marketplaces. They are typically sold in 20 lb and 40 lb bags, making them convenient for both occasional grillers and heavy-use smokers.

Nice pellet with minimal fines. Burns good and hot with low ash. Gerald at GLRE says they’re a 50/50 softwood/hardwood blend. Pellets tend to run a little long, with many around 1 inch.
Lumberjacks burn nice and clean. You can smell the pine resin when you open a bag. I asked Gerald at Great Lakes about their content and he told me they’re a 50-50 softwood/hardwood blend. Great value at less than $4 a bag.
I run 4 different pellet stoves 2 at home and 2 at my business. Lumberjack is the best pellet I could find for my Bixby and US stove. It also does very well in breckwell big E and Cumberland. Nice consistent clean pellet. Definately a hotter & better buring pellet. 4 pellets to avoid are ozark, michigan, Marth, and Indeck (worst on btus, ash, consitency and stove operation) in my opinion.
Great pellets, great flavor low ash and extended burn times.
I have been using Lumber Jack Brand pellets for a couple of years now and I am extremely satisfied with their pellet for a couple of reasons. First of all they are 100% wood product (no extra ingredients such as plastic or oils to increase the b.t.u. or heat) I have burned several other brands and some pellets will make my stove glass very sooty in just a short time, not so with the Lumber Jack Brand. Another feature I like about these pellets is the fact that I had a dozen bags left over from last year, and had no damage to the pellets. i.e. swelling or clumping. Lumber Jack Brand uses a thicker plastic that does not tear or stretch and break easily. In my opinion, if you haven’t tried these pellets yet, it will be worth your time to try a few bags to see the difference what a good pellet can do for you.
