Made in USAPellet Grill Ready
The fruit wood that gives smallgoods their rose-pink colour and chicken its sweet finish. Lumber Jack 100% Cherry, the most popular BBQ pellet brand in America, now stocked at BBQ Republic.
Cherry sits at the gentler end of the smoke spectrum. It is mild, slightly sweet, and fruity, with none of the sharp bite you get from hickory or mesquite. That makes it the go-to pellet for poultry, pork, ham, fish and especially smallgoods, where the smoke needs to support the meat rather than dominate it. You also get that signature rose-pink hue that screams "this came off a real smoker", not an oven.
100% Cherry, No Filler
No oak base, no alder filler, no mystery wood. Just pure Cherry, so the smoke flavour you smell is the smoke flavour you get.
Round Log Process
Made from whole trees chipped green, with the bark left on. Most pellets are sawdust by-product from furniture factories. This isn't.
Mild and Fruity Smoke
A gentle, sweet smoke profile that won't overpower delicate proteins. Beautiful on poultry, pork and fish. Stunning on smallgoods.
Fits Any Pellet Grill
Designed for all major pellet grills including Yoder Smokers, Green Mountain Grills, Traeger, Pit Boss and Camp Chef. Drop in and cook.
Why We Stock Lumber Jack
Most pellets are sawdust. These are actual trees.
The flavour of a tree lives in the cambium layer, the bark and the green growing wood. Most BBQ pellet manufacturers source their material as residual sawdust from furniture factories or hammer-handle plants. By the time that sawdust is kiln-dried and pressed, most of the flavour is long gone.
Lumber Jack runs a round log plant. They harvest actual trees and chip them green, with the bark left on the primary flavour wood. The result is a pellet that smells like the wood it came from and smokes like it too. You can taste the difference on the first cook.
This is why Lumber Jack is the most popular BBQ pellet brand in the United States, and why we have it on the shelf at Wetherill Park.

Frequently asked questions
What does Cherry smoke taste like?
Mild, fruity and slightly sweet. Far gentler than hickory or mesquite, with a soft, almost rounded smoke profile that complements the meat rather than overpowering it. It also throws a beautiful rose-pink colour to whatever you cook on it, which is why it is the pellet of choice for smallgoods and hams.
What is the "round log process" and why does it matter?
Most pellet brands are pressed from residual sawdust, a by-product of furniture or hammer-handle factories. By the time it is kiln-dried and pressed, the flavour-carrying cambium layer is gone. Lumber Jack harvests whole trees and chips them green with the bark on, so the flavour wood goes into the pellet intact. You get noticeably more smoke flavour per kilo than from a sawdust-based pellet.
Will these pellets work in my pellet grill?
Yes. Lumber Jack pellets are standard 6mm BBQ pellets and work in all major pellet grills including Yoder Smokers, Green Mountain Grills, Traeger, Pit Boss, Camp Chef and others. If you can run pellets, you can run Lumber Jack.
Can I blend Cherry with other woods?
Absolutely. Cherry blends beautifully with stronger woods. Mix it with Hickory for ribs and pork shoulder to get the bark and sweetness together, or with Oak for a balanced beef cook. Many pitmasters keep two flavours loaded and pour them in together depending on the cook.
How long does a 9kg bag last?
A rough rule of thumb on a quality pellet grill is around 1kg of pellets per hour at smoking temperatures (around 110 to 120 degrees C), and more at hotter cooks. A 9kg bag will get you through several long cooks. If you smoke regularly, buying multiple bags at once makes sense.
How should I store the pellets?
Keep them dry. Pellets are compressed sawdust and any moisture will swell them back into sawdust, which jams the auger in your grill. Store the bag sealed in a cool, dry spot, or transfer to an airtight container. Avoid leaving them in the hopper between cooks if your grill is exposed to weather.
Can I pick up from the showroom?
Yes. Lumber Jack pellets are on display and available for immediate pickup from our Wetherill Park showroom, Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm and Saturday 9am to 2pm. Sydney metro delivery is also available. Call 0434 010 411 to arrange.
