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

The classic Aussie BBQ wood, done properly

Red Gum is the wood most Australians already associate with a wood-fired barbecue, and Natural Smoke's version is hand processed and bagged in Myponga, South Australia. Very dense, very hard, and built for a long, hot burn.

The flavour

A strong smoke flavour from a genuinely dense hardwood — this doubles as an excellent fuel source in its own right, not just a chip you toss on for aroma. Rated excellent on beef and lamb, good on poultry and pork. This is the bold end of the range.

Perfect on

• Beef brisket, ribs or a whole lamb shoulder — where Red Gum is rated excellent.
• Any cook that wants real heat and a long burn time, not just light smoke.
• The classic backyard spit or drum smoker session.

In the bag

Chunky, hand-processed red gum, cut for kettle BBQs, bullet smokers and Kamado-style cookers. Sourced from pesticide-free local farms, 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

Red Gum’s the wood most Australians already picture when they think ‘wood-fired barbecue’ — dense, hot-burning, and honestly good enough to run the whole cook as fuel, not just flavour. Rub it hard with Hardcore Carnivore Black Rub and keep Smoke On Wheels Bootleg Bourbon BBQ Sauce ready for the last mop. Low, slow, and strictly off the books.
