Green Mountain Grills Premium Fruitwood Blend pellets combine orchard cherry, American beech and sweet pecan in a 12.7 kg bag. It's one of the lightest, sweetest smokes in the GMG range, and a popular pick for ribs and chicken where you want colour and sweetness rather than heavy smoke.
Cherry gives a mild, fruity flavour and the deep mahogany colour cherry is known for. Beech is a clean, mild hardwood that burns steadily. Pecan, a milder cousin of hickory, adds a rich, slightly nutty note so the blend doesn't taste thin.

The 28 lb bag holds about 40% more pellets than a standard 9 kg bag. Prefer apple's sweetness with a bit of hickory? Try GMG Premium Apple Blend.
Cherry, Beech and Pecan Fruitwood Pellets
Fruit woods are the go-to for pork and poultry because they flavour the meat without the sharp edge a strong wood can leave on lighter proteins. This blend also gives skin and bark a rich, reddish colour, which is why ribs and whole birds come off looking the part.
For beef, or when you want more smoke, GMG Premium Gold Blend or GMG Premium Texas Blend is the better match.
Best Uses for Fruitwood Blend Pellets
- Pork: ribs, pork belly, pulled pork and ham.
- Poultry: whole chickens, wings, turkey and duck.
- Seafood: salmon, trout and prawns.
- Lamb: ribs and smoked shoulder.
- Veg and baking: vegetables, pizza and fruit desserts.
How GMG Pellets Are Made
GMG presses its pellets from 100% kiln-dried hardwood sawdust. Kiln drying takes the moisture out before pressing, which helps the pellets burn cleanly and feed evenly through the auger. Nothing is added to hold them together: the wood's own lignin softens under heat and pressure and binds each pellet. There are no fillers, flavouring oils or additives.
The pellets are also pressed to a larger diameter than most. A thicker pellet burns a little longer, which suits long, low-and-slow cooks. They're made to burn with low ash, so there's less to clean out of the fire pot between cooks.

FAQs
What woods are in GMG Fruitwood Blend?

Will Fruitwood Blend colour the meat?
Cherry is known for giving meat and poultry skin a deep reddish colour, and it's the main fruit wood in this blend.
Is it strong enough for brisket?
It's a light smoke, so brisket will taste milder than with an oak and hickory blend. Many people use it on pork and chicken and switch to Gold or Texas for beef.

🤔Who is Sydney BBQs❓
Meet Erik & Suzie, the dynamic duo behind Sydney BBQs & Rotisseries!
Our journey began in 2019, amidst the whirlwind of early parenthood. We decided to embark on a little side venture, leveraging our shared passion of BBQ. Having grown up with family BBQs, almost on a weekly basis, charcoal and sizzling grills felt like old friends to us.Our humble beginnings saw us selling charcoal from the confines of our garage. To our surprise, the demand was huge, with pallet loads flying off the shelves faster than we could stock them. It was clear we had stumbled upon something special. Fast forward five years, and our little side gig has blossomed into a comprehensive online emporium. From charcoal to rubs, grills to rotisseries, and an array of accessories including spit baskets, gyro discs, skewers, gloves, smoker tubes, and beyond, we've got all your BBQ needs covered.But it doesn't stop there. With loyal customers all over Australia, we're thrilled to announce the next chapter in our story: The grand opening of our very own shopfront. It's been an incredible journey, and we couldn't have done it without the unwavering support of our BBQ community. Here's to many more years of sizzling success!
We’ve built Sydney BBQs & Rotisseries with passion, and our customers have been a huge part of that journey. See what they say about us!
