    Most Popular BlendSays Lumber Jack
    Made in USAPellet Grill Ready

    The bag competition pitmasters carry when they can only carry one. Maple, Hickory and Cherry: built for brisket, ribs, pork shoulder and chicken from a single hopper.

    The Lumber Jack MHC Competition Blend (Maple, Hickory, Cherry) is the all-rounder of the Lumber Jack range. Lumber Jack calls it its most popular blend: three flavour woods, mixed so a competition team can cook all four categories on the same smoker without changing pellets. Hickory provides the bark and backbone. Cherry adds the rose-pink colour and sweetness. Maple bridges them with a mellow, slightly sweet smoke that softens the edges. If you only ever want to keep one pellet on hand, this is the bag that earns its keep.

    Maple, Hickory and Cherry

    A mixture of maple, hickory and cherry, which is where the MHC name comes from. Each wood contributes its own character to the smoke profile.

    The Competition Choice

    Built for cooks who need one pellet to handle brisket, ribs, pork shoulder and chicken on the same smoker. Versatility under pressure.

    Lumber Jack's Most Popular Blend

    Lumber Jack describes MHC as its most popular blend and an ideal choice for everyday grilling and smoking.

    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.

    Why It's the Competition Blend

    Four categories. One smoker. One pellet.

    BBQ competition teams turn in four meats: chicken, pork ribs, pork shoulder and brisket. Each one has a different ideal smoke profile, but the smoker only holds one type of pellet at a time. Reload between cooks and you lose track of your brisket, your bark, and probably the trophy.

    The MHC Competition Blend solves that problem. Hickory brings the bold, bark-building backbone for brisket and ribs. Cherry adds the signature rose-pink colour and a mild fruity sweetness that works with chicken and pork. Maple bridges them with a mellow, slightly sweet smoke that softens the harder edges of hickory and complements every protein on the menu.

    The result is a single pellet that handles everything a competition team turns in. Outside the comp circuit, it is the bag most regular pellet cooks reach for when they want one good all-rounder instead of four single-flavour bags taking up shed space.

    Frequently asked questions

    What does MHC Competition Blend smoke taste like?
    Balanced and layered. Hickory provides the bold, bacony backbone you expect from American BBQ. Cherry adds a soft fruity sweetness and that signature rose-pink colour. Maple bridges them with a mellow, slightly sweet smoke that softens hickory's harder edges. Together they produce a smoke profile that is full but never overwhelming, with no single wood dominating the plate.
    Why is it called the Competition Blend?
    BBQ competition teams have to turn in four meats: chicken, pork ribs, pork shoulder and brisket. Each one ideally suits a different smoke profile, but you can only run one pellet at a time through your smoker. The Competition Blend is engineered so a single bag handles all four categories well, and Lumber Jack calls it its most popular blend. The same logic applies at home: one bag covers everything.
    What is MHC Competition Blend best for?
    Everything, honestly, which is the point. Lumber Jack says it suits all foods, and it handles brisket, beef ribs, pork shoulder, chicken, lamb, pork ribs, sausages and even premium steak cuts beautifully. If you cook a variety of proteins and want one pellet that does it all, MHC is the answer.
    Competition Blend vs single-flavour pellets, which should I buy?
    Choose MHC Competition Blend if you cook a variety of proteins and want one bag that handles all of them well. Choose a single-flavour pellet like 100% Hickory or 100% Cherry when you want maximum intensity of one specific smoke profile, or when you're cooking for a specific outcome (Hickory for brisket bark, Cherry for smallgoods colour). Many pellet cooks keep MHC as their daily bag and one or two single flavours for specific cooks.
    How is MHC different from the Hickory Blend or Apple Blend?
    The Hickory Blend is oak and hickory in nearly equal parts, and the Apple Blend is red oak and pure apple wood. MHC is a mixture of maple, hickory and cherry, so you get three flavour woods in one bag and a more layered smoke profile.
    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.

    Yes. Call 0434 010 411 ahead to arrange showroom pickup at Wetherill Park. Hours: Monday 10am to 5pm, Tuesday closed, Wednesday to Friday 10am to 5pm, Saturday 9am to 2pm, Sunday closed. Sydney metro delivery is free on any order over $150.
