August 2026: Apple Wood Pellets

Sweet. Mild. Versatile.

Welcome to this month's Members Only Pellet of the Month! Every month we'll shine the spotlight on one of our premium hardwood pellets, sharing what makes it special, what foods it pairs best with, and how to get the very best flavour from your BBQ.

For August 2026, our featured pellet is Apple – one of the most versatile and popular smoking woods available.

Apple wood produces a light, sweet and fruity smoke that enhances food without overpowering it. It's the perfect choice when you want to add subtle wood-fired flavour while still letting the natural taste of your ingredients shine through.
