100% HickoryNo Filler Woods
Maximum IntensityBark-On Flavour
Made in USAPellet Grill Ready
The most widely used smoking pellet in America, undiluted. 100% Hickory wood, bark left on, no oak base, no filler. Pure hickory bite on brisket, ribs and pork shoulder.
Hickory is the wood American BBQ was built on, and 100% Hickory is hickory at its loudest. Lumber Jack 100% Hickory pellets are made from pure virgin hickory wood with the bark left on, where the flavour lives. The result is the most intense, recognisable hickory smoke profile you can get from a 6mm pellet. If you cook for guests who notice the smoke, or if you want to push your brisket cook to the next level, this is the bag.
100% Hickory, Zero Filler

Fits Any Pellet Grill
Standard 6mm BBQ pellets. Designed for Yoder Smokers, Green Mountain Grills, Traeger, Pit Boss and Camp Chef. Drop in and cook.
100% Hickory vs Hickory Blend
When you want hickory and only hickory.
Lumber Jack makes both a Hickory Blend (60% de-barked oak / 40% hickory) and 100% Hickory. The Blend is the everyday workhorse: cleaner burn, lower ash, balanced smoke profile. 100% Hickory is the no-compromise version, with the bark left on the hickory wood for the most intense, unmistakable hickory smoke you can get.
The trade-off is honest: 100% varieties produce more ash than blends, because there is more bark in the bag. For shorter cooks, smoke tubes, or any time you want maximum hickory hit, the extra cleanup is worth it. For long brisket marathons where the hopper has to run clean for 14 hours, the Blend is usually the smarter call.
Lumber Jack runs a round log plant in northern Wisconsin. Whole hickory trees, chipped green, with the bark on the primary wood, just like the old timers used to smoke meat. This is hickory the way it is meant to taste.

Frequently asked questions
What does 100% Hickory taste like?
Bold, robust, savoury and unmistakably hickory. This is the smoke profile that defines American BBQ. With the bark left on the hickory wood, 100% Hickory delivers a more intense and powerful smoke than the Hickory Blend, with that signature bacony note pitmasters love. If you want hickory to be the loudest thing on the plate, this is the bag.
100% Hickory vs Hickory Blend, which should I choose?
Choose 100% Hickory when you want maximum intensity and pure hickory flavour with no oak base diluting it. It is the purist's pick for occasional big cooks, smoke tubes, or any time you want the smoke to be loud. Choose Hickory Blend (60% oak / 40% hickory) for daily driver use, long brisket cooks, and lower ash. Many pitmasters keep both on hand and switch depending on the cook.
Why is 100% Hickory more intense than the Blend?
The flavour of any wood lives in its bark and cambium layer. Lumber Jack's 100% varieties keep the bark on the wood, so all the flavour compounds make it into the pellet. The blends, by comparison, use a de-barked Red Oak base to keep the burn cleaner. More bark means more flavour, but also more ash. It is a deliberate trade-off.
What is 100% Hickory best for?
Beef brisket, beef ribs, pork ribs, pulled pork, pork shoulder and bacon are the headline pairings. It is also excellent on whole chickens, turkey, duck, and any game meat. Because of its intensity, 100% Hickory is also a top choice for smoke tubes used in cold smoking cheese, salt and bacon.
Does 100% Hickory produce more ash than the Blend?
Yes, slightly. Because the bark is left on the hickory wood for maximum flavour, there is more bark in the bag overall, which means more ash in the firebox after burning. For most pellet cooks this is not a problem, but if you regularly run 12-plus-hour brisket cooks where the hopper needs to stay clear, the Hickory Blend may suit better.
Will these pellets work in my pellet grill?
Yes. Lumber Jack 100% Hickory 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. They also work brilliantly in smoke tubes for cold smoking on charcoal or gas grills.
Can I pick up from the showroom?
Yes. Lumber Jack 100% Hickory 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.
