60% Oak · 40% AppleApple Blend Recipe
Low AshCleaner Burn
Made in USAPellet Grill Ready
The apple wood pellet for pork, the apple wood pellet for cheese, the pellet pitmasters reach for when they want clean apple smoke without the bitterness. Lumber Jack Apple Blend, 9kg.
Apple Blend is one of Lumber Jack's most popular flavours and for good reason. It is a 60% de-barked Red Oak base with 40% Apple wood on top, engineered so the sweet apple smoke shines through while the oak delivers a clean, even, low-ash burn. The result is the classic apple-on-pork pairing every pitmaster knows, plus the everyday usability of a pellet that does not foul your hopper or your firebox. If you cook pork, chicken, or smoked cheese on a pellet grill, this is the bag to keep on hand.
60% De-Barked Oak + 40% Apple
The de-barked oak base burns clean and even. The bark-on apple wood carries the flavour. The blend recipe is intentional, not a filler shortcut.
Mild and Sweet Apple Smoke
Soft, sweet, gentle. Apple wood is the classic smoke for pork and cheese because it never overpowers the meat. Add light, never weight.
Lower Ash, Cleaner Hopper
Less bark in the mix means less ash in your firebox. Longer cooks between vacuum-outs, fewer hopper jams, more time cooking.
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.
Why a Blend Beats 100% Apple
Stronger apple flavour. Lower ash. Better daily driver.
The flavour of a wood lives in its bark. Lumber Jack leaves the bark on the primary wood (the Apple) so all the flavour comes through, and de-barks the Red Oak base so the oak does not compete with the apple character. The end result is a pellet that tastes more like apple, not less, than you might expect.
It also produces noticeably lower ash content than 100% varieties. For long cooks on a pellet smoker, that means fewer hopper cleanings, fewer auger jams and a cleaner firebox at the end of the cook.
Lumber Jack is the most popular BBQ pellet brand in the United States, and Apple Blend is one of the flavours that built that reputation. We stock it because we cook on it ourselves.

Frequently asked questions
What does Apple Blend smoke taste like?
Mild, sweet and balanced. Apple wood is one of the gentlest smoke flavours in the BBQ pellet range, with a softly sweet note that perfectly complements pork, poultry and smoked cheese. The Red Oak base in the blend keeps the burn clean and even without adding any harshness, so the apple character carries through to whatever you cook.
Why a blend instead of 100% Apple?
Lumber Jack de-barks the Red Oak base so it does not compete with the apple flavour, then leaves the bark on the apple wood where all the flavour lives. The result is a pellet that actually tastes more like apple than you might expect, plus a much cleaner burn with lower ash than a 100% Apple bag. For everyday cooks on a pellet grill, blends are usually the smarter choice.
What is Apple Blend best for?
Pork is the headline pairing. Pulled pork, pork ribs, pork shoulder, bacon, ham, pork belly burnt ends, all benefit from the sweet apple smoke. It is also the go-to pellet for smoked cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, gouda), chicken wings, whole chickens and salmon. Anywhere you want a mild, sweet smoke that does not dominate the meat, Apple Blend is the answer.
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.
Why does Apple Blend have lower ash than 100% Apple?
Bark is what produces ash when wood burns. The Red Oak base in Apple Blend is de-barked before pelleting, which means there is less bark in the bag overall and therefore less ash in your firebox at the end of the cook. For pellet grill owners doing long cooks, that means fewer hopper jams and less cleanup.
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.
Can I pick up from the showroom?
Yes. Lumber Jack Apple Blend 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.
