Overview
Premium smoking wood chunks are fist-sized pieces of seasoned hardwood that you add to a charcoal or gas fire to season food with real wood smoke. They are how you turn plain grilling into barbecue — the source of the deep flavour and colour that define ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and smoked poultry.
Flavour is the whole point. Different species carry different characters: oak gives a balanced, medium smoke that suits almost anything, hickory is bold and classic for beef and pork, while fruit woods like apple and cherry are milder and sweeter, flattering poultry, pork, and fish. Chunks smoulder slowly on the coals, giving a longer, steadier release of smoke than small chips.
They are for anyone cooking on a kamado, kettle, offset, or pellet-friendly setup who wants authentic smoke flavour. Pair them with your charcoal to take weekend cooks to the next level.
Key features
- Seasoned hardwood chunks for genuine, long-lasting wood smoke.
- Distinct flavour profiles by species — oak, hickory, apple, cherry and more.
- Chunks smoulder slowly for a steadier smoke release than thin chips.
- Work with charcoal grills, kamados, offsets, and gas grills in a smoker box.
- Easy to match to the meat, from mild fruit woods to bold hickory.
- A little goes a long way — a few chunks flavour a whole cook.
How to use it
Place two or three chunks directly on top of your lit charcoal once it is ashed over, or bury them slightly for a delayed release during long cooks. On a gas grill, wrap chunks in a foil pouch with holes or use a smoker box set over a burner. Aim for thin, wispy blue smoke rather than thick white clouds.
You do not need to soak the chunks first. Soaking mostly produces steam and delays true smoking, and can create the heavy white smoke that leaves food acrid. Add dry chunks a few at a time through the cook to keep the smoke clean and steady, and match the wood to the meat for the best result.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to soak wood chunks before smoking?
No. Soaking is a common myth. Water only coats the surface and mostly turns to steam, which delays real smoking and can produce heavy white smoke that makes food taste acrid. Use chunks dry for clean, thin blue smoke, and simply add a few more when you want a longer smoke release.
Which wood goes with which meat?
As a guide: oak is balanced and works with almost anything, especially beef and lamb; hickory is bold and classic for beef, pork, and ribs; apple and cherry are mild and sweet, great for poultry, pork, and fish. Start light — you can always add more smoke, but you cannot take it away.
Chunks or chips — what is the difference?
Chips are small and ignite fast, giving a quick burst of smoke that suits short grills. Chunks are larger, smoulder slowly, and release smoke steadily over a longer period, which makes them better for low-and-slow barbecue on charcoal grills, kamados, and offset smokers where a sustained smoke is wanted.
How many chunks should I use?
Start with two or three chunks placed on the lit coals for most cooks; a little goes a long way. For long low-and-slow sessions, add a chunk or two periodically to keep the smoke steady rather than piling them on at once. Too much wood at once can make food bitter, so build flavour gradually.
