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

Renowned Australia-wide for a reason

Ironbark is the wood pitmasters reach for when the cook is long and the flavour needs to hold its own. A very dense timber, hand processed and bagged in Myponga, South Australia, and one of the most respected smoking woods in the country.

The flavour

Bold, and it means it — a very dense wood that also doubles as a genuine heat source for long cooks, not just a flavour add-in. Rated excellent on beef and lamb, good on poultry, pork and seafood. This is the strong end of the Natural Smoke range, so start light if you haven't used it before.

Perfect on

• Brisket and other long beef cooks — Ironbark's bold flavour and heat output were made for this.
• Lamb shoulder or leg, where it's rated excellent.
• Any cook that runs long enough to need the wood's own heat, not just its smoke.

The Rub Smuggler’s Verdict

This is the one pitmasters reach for when the cook runs long and the bark has to hold its own — dense, hot-burning, built for beef and lamb that need hours, not minutes. Rub it heavy with The Feedlot Black Angus Rub and mop it home with Smoke On Wheels Bootleg Bourbon BBQ Sauce once the bark’s set. — Darryl "Bark" Rubb
