Red Oak · MesquiteMesquite Blend Recipe
Strong SmokeTexas BBQ Tradition
Made in USAPellet Grill Ready
The pellet for Texas-style brisket. Strong, spicy, earthy mesquite smoke balanced with a clean-burning oak base. The bag pitmasters reach for when they want bark, bite and serious smoke flavour.
Mesquite is the wood of Texas barbecue. Lumber Jack makes the Mesquite Blend with hefty doses of red oak and mesquite, delivering that distinctive Southwest BBQ punch without going completely over the top. You get the bold, almost spicy mesquite character that built Texas brisket's reputation. If you cook for people who like their BBQ to taste like BBQ, this is the bag.
Red Oak and Mesquite
Hefty doses of red oak and mesquite for what Lumber Jack calls a competition grade flavour profile.
Strong, Spicy Southwest Smoke
Bold, spicy, earthy. Mesquite has more aromatic compounds than hickory or oak, producing the most intense smoke flavour you can get from a Lumber Jack pellet.
Pure Virgin Wood Fibre
No artificially flavoured oils. Lumber Jack guarantees its grilling pellets are pure virgin wood fibre.
Fits Any Pellet Grill
Standard 6mm BBQ pellets. Works in Yoder Smokers, Green Mountain Grills, Traeger, Pit Boss and Camp Chef pellet grills. Drop in and cook.
The Wood Texas BBQ Was Built On
If brisket has a hometown wood, mesquite is it.
Mesquite trees are native to Texas and the American Southwest, and they have been the fuel of regional BBQ for as long as there has been regional BBQ. The wood produces a smoke that is unmistakably its own: bold, spicy, slightly earthy, with the kind of intensity that punches through even the thickest brisket bark.
The trade-off with mesquite is that pure 100% Mesquite can be overpowering on long cooks. The smoke can turn bitter if pushed too far. That is why Lumber Jack makes this as a blend, with hefty doses of red oak that tempers the mesquite without diluting it, so you get the full Texas BBQ smoke profile across a 12-hour brisket without crossing into bitter territory.
For competition cooks chasing Texas-style brisket on a pellet grill, this is the pellet. For Mexican barbacoa, carne asada, and anywhere mesquite belongs traditionally, this is also the pellet.

Bold, spicy, earthy and unmistakable. Mesquite is the most intense smoke flavour in common smoking woods, with a slightly sharp, almost peppery character that builds incredible bark on beef. The Red Oak base tempers it just enough to keep it from going bitter on long cooks, so you get the full Texas BBQ punch from start to finish. If you imagine "real Texas brisket smoke", this is it.
Why is Mesquite the Texas BBQ wood?
Mesquite trees are native to Texas and the American Southwest, so they have been the fuel of regional barbecue for as long as Texans have been smoking brisket. The wood produces a uniquely strong, spicy smoke that punches through the thick bark of a properly cooked brisket and stands up to the bold seasoning Texas BBQ is known for.
Mesquite Blend vs Hickory Blend, which should I choose?
Choose Mesquite Blend for Texas-style brisket, Mexican BBQ, lamb and game, where you want bold, spicy, earthy smoke. Choose Hickory Blend for classic American BBQ (Memphis ribs, Kansas City brisket, Carolina pulled pork), where you want a bold but more balanced smoke. Mesquite is more intense and more distinctive. Hickory is more versatile and slightly milder. Many pellet cooks keep both on hand and switch based on the regional style they are aiming for.
Why a blend instead of 100% Mesquite?
Pure 100% Mesquite can turn bitter on long cooks because the smoke is so intense. Many pitmasters who use raw mesquite wood on offset smokers actually burn it down to coals first to mellow the smoke. Lumber Jack solved that problem in the pellet by blending hefty doses of red oak with the mesquite to temper the mesquite without diluting its character. The result is a pellet that delivers true Texas-style smoke flavour across a 12-hour brisket cook without going bitter at the end.
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.
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. For Texas-style brisket specifically, expect to use 4 to 6kg per brisket, so a bag covers about two big cooks.
