Lumberjack Competition Blend (MHC) pellets mix maple, hickory and cherry into one 9.07 kg bag. It's Lumberjack's most popular blend, made for everyday grilling and smoking. The result balances a touch of sweetness with traditional BBQ smoke.
The three woods are blended before the pellets are pressed, so every pellet carries the same mix and the flavour stays even through the bag. There are no flavouring oils, fillers or binders. The pellets are made in the USA from whole northern Wisconsin trees, chipped green.
Smoke every weekend? The 2-bag pack and 4-bag bulk pack bring the price per bag down.
Maple, Hickory and Cherry in Every Pellet
Each wood brings something different. Hickory gives the classic, savoury BBQ base, while maple and cherry bring the milder, sweeter side.
Lumberjack describes the blend as a balance of sweet and traditional BBQ flavour. That's why it works across so many foods without tasting the same every time.

What to Cook With Competition Blend
Lumberjack pitches it for beef, pork, poultry, seafood and vegetables. In practice that makes it a bag you can leave in the hopper all week:
- Pork: ribs, pork shoulder and pork belly.
- Beef: brisket, short ribs and burgers.
- Poultry: whole chickens, wings and turkey.
- Seafood and veg: salmon, prawns, corn and capsicum.
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 low-and-slow or 6–7 hours of high heat from one 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.
- Pellet cold smoke generators.
- Some grill brands recommend only their own pellets for warranty. Check your terms if that applies.

🤔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!
