NATURAL SMOKE: Cherry Wood Chunks | 100% Real Cherry Smoking Wood | 1kg

The crowd-pleaser, and it's not hard to see why

Cherry is one of the most popular smoking woods going, and Natural Smoke's version is hand cut and bagged in Myponga, South Australia. Sweet smelling, an easy sell to anyone new to smoking, and the wood most likely to get compliments on the smoke ring alone.

The flavour

A genuinely sweet smell and, on the right cook, that deep pink smoke ring people photograph before they eat. It's rated good — not excellent, just consistently good — across poultry, beef, pork, lamb and seafood, which makes it one of the safest all-rounders in the range.

Perfect on

• Anything you want a visible smoke ring on — cherry is famous for it.
• Poultry and pork for a mild, sweet background note.
• Blended with a bolder wood like Ironbark or Red Gum when you want colour and aroma without extra bite.

In the bag

Chunky, hand-processed cherry wood, cut for kettle BBQs, bullet smokers and Kamado-style cookers. Sourced from pesticide-free local orchards, so occasional minor insect marking is normal. 1kg per bag. Natural product — always check the physical bag for the printed weight.

The Rub Smuggler’s Verdict

I’ve smuggled worse past the missus than a bag of this — cherry’s the crowd-pleaser, sweet enough for anyone’s first smoke and famous for that pink ring everyone photographs before they eat. Season with Low N Slow Basics Garlic Goals All Purpose Rub and keep Blues Hog Original BBQ Sauce close for the last brush. Good on everything, loud about nothing.
