For the perfect smoked food

Through our love of smoking food - trial and error and our frustration in being unable to source quality wood chunks we are pleased to offer our home grown Alder wood chunks - perfect for home smoked food. Our natural wood chunks deliver long lasting authentic smoke flavour and are the perfect size to use in your smoker, Kamado style ceramic bbq or kettle bbq. Sourced from our own sustainable woodland and kiln dried, Gwernyfed Wood Chunks are excellent value for money and will give you hours of bbq flavour - a few chunks go a long way! Our kiln dried Alder wood is split down into roughly fist sized chunks, though due to the natural product boxes will contain some thumb sized pieces.

Tried and tested so you don't have to

Light a few chunks in your smoker, Kamado style ceramic bbq or Kettle bbq. Leave approx 15-20 mins until chunks have turned white Spread out the chunks evenly using tongs Replace the cooking grid Close the lid and all of the vents - this ensures the fire goes out and the wood continues to smoulder. Add your food and cook with the lid closed using the vents to regulate the heat.

If you prefer to cook with charcoal then simply add a few chunks on top of the charcoal for a subtle smoky flavour. Some people like to soak their chunks, we prefer not to as this only slows up the cooking process, we add a small foil container with about 1 pint of water inside the bbq next to the coals to add just enough moisture, this keeps your chunks dry for delicious smoky flavour. We light our chunks to one side of the bbq and not directly underneath the food, this ensures a circular heat flow and prevents burning the food if the flames flare up.
