Lumberjack Apple Blend pellets mix 60% red oak with 40% apple wood in a 9.07 kg bag. The apple gives a mild, sweet, fruity smoke. The oak adds heat and a steady burn. Lumberjack recommends it for pork, seafood and smoked cheese.
The apple wood goes in with the bark on, where most of its flavour sits, while the oak is de-barked to add heat. Both woods are ground and mixed before pressing, so every pellet carries the full 60/40 recipe. There are no flavouring oils, fillers or binders, and the pellets are made in the USA.

Apple Wood for Smoking: Why It's Blended With Oak
Apple is one of the sweetest, mildest smoking woods, which makes it a favourite for pork and poultry. On its own it's a gentle fuel. Pairing it with oak gives you apple's flavour with the heat and steady temperature of a hardwood.
Lumberjack's Canadian distributor describes Apple Blend as the strongest of Lumberjack's fruit-wood blends: a hearty, sweet smoke rather than a faint one.
Best Uses for Apple Wood Pellets
- Pork: pulled pork, ribs, pork loin and pork belly.
- Poultry: chicken, turkey and duck.
- Seafood: salmon, trout and scallops.
- Cheese: cheddar, gouda and other firm cheeses, cold-smoked in a ProFlame Cold Smoke Generator.
- Baking and veg: fruit desserts, bread and vegetables.
Burn Time Per Bag
Lumberjack estimates about 0.45 kg an hour on a low or smoke setting and up to about 1.4 kg an hour on high. That's roughly 20 hours of low-and-slow smoking or 6–7 hours of high heat per bag, depending on your grill and the weather.
Fits and Compatibility
- Any brand of pellet grill or pellet smoker, including the Green Mountain Grills Ledge Prime 2.0.
- Gas, kettle and charcoal BBQs with a stainless steel smoker pipe.

FAQs
Is Apple Blend 100% apple?
No. It's 60% red oak and 40% apple. The oak provides heat and a steady burn, and the bark-on apple wood provides the flavour.
Apple Blend or 100% Cherry?
Apple Blend is sweeter, with more heat from the oak. 100% Cherry is pure cherry: mild and fruity, and it adds a rose colour to meat. The comparison below lays them side by side.
Can I smoke cheese with these?
Yes. Lumberjack recommends Apple Blend for smoked cheese. Use a cold smoke generator so the cheese stays cool while it takes on smoke.

🤔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!
