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.

Lumberjack is the worst pellets I have ever used, they are extremely ashy and put out quite a bit of creosote. The burn pot would fill with very hard ash and pellets would end up overflowing because of this, they plugged my chimney and coated the impellers on the combustion fan so bad that it couldn’t move air in an efficient manner. Also the fines were so bad that the auger plugged up. I maintain my stove to the highest degree, clean it daily and maintain as the manufacturer recommends it should be maintained. The heat output is very poor even at the highest setting the fan would cycle on and off because temperature could not be maintained also I had to clean the burn pot every eight hours. I only ran these pellets for a week but purchased a ton unfortunately and will be burning them in a barrel this summer thats all they are good for. Maybe they would work so, so in a multi-fuel stove.
Seraph Industries G106 Stove. I clean my stove every 3 days.
I was happy with Lumberjack pellets until I started finding small pieces of gravel in the bags. Some are the size of sunflowers and others are about like a grape. I have a stirring device in my firepot and these rocks keep jamming it. I even had a large rock jam my feed auger. I emailed the company and they blew me off. I will use up my remaining supply and will never buy these again.
I don’t have the make or model handy of our stove. We have been using it for 4 or so years? Our stove gets cleaned every week or so, it is used as our main source of heat. We have always had great luck with Lumberjack Pellets. This year, however, they don’t seem to be giving off the same heat. Also – we have had problems this year with them clumping, like too much moisture in them maybe? There are a few issues other than that as well. Just not as happy with them anymore. However- a friend burns another brand and they are having the same issues. So…who knows!
We have a Heatilator ECOChoice Cab50.. The pellets put out good BTUs, but I’ve seen some longer pellets than what the stove maker says it can handle; longer than 1.5 inches,an and as the seems like there is excess dust in the bags from settling, seen when dumping the bags and as they fall into the fire pot.. The stove and pellets have saved us money on fuel oil.. I’ld refer fellow people to the pellet stove and pellets any day..Do you have Pellets that have a higher BTU Rating for our type of stove?? Thank You!!
I’m looking to try your Lumber Jack pellets in my smoker and was wondering if there’s a place in Colorado(Denver)to buy them?
Thanks, Michael
