Firewood by the Pound – Premium Smoking & Cooking Wood Chunks
Bring real wood-fired flavor to your smoker, grill, pizza oven, or outdoor cooker with Lee’s Firewood Cooking Wood Chunks. Buying firewood by the pound makes it easy to experiment with different smoking woods, mix flavors, or purchase exactly the amount you need without committing to a large quantity.
Our BBQ smoking wood chunks are approximately 3" × 3", although sizes naturally vary from piece to piece. These larger chunks are ideal for smokers, charcoal grills, pizza ovens, offset smokers, and other wood-fired cooking applications where you want steady smoke and authentic wood-fired flavor.
Whether you prefer a mild fruity smoke or a bold traditional barbecue flavor, choose from 8 different cooking woods, each with its own unique characteristics.
Apple Cooking Wood
Apple is a mild, sweet fruitwood that produces a gentle, slightly fruity smoke without overpowering your food. It is an excellent smoking wood for pork, poultry, sausage, vegetables, and desserts. Apple is especially popular with cooks who want a smooth introduction to cooking with real wood.
Cherry Cooking Wood
Cherry provides a mild, sweet smoke and is known for helping meat develop a beautiful darker, richer color while it cooks. It works well with almost any meat, including beef, pork, poultry, and game. Cherry is also an excellent wood to blend with Oak or Hickory when you want added sweetness without sacrificing a traditional smoky flavor.
Pecan Cooking Wood
Pecan produces a naturally sweet, nutty smoke with plenty of barbecue character while generally being smoother than stronger woods such as Hickory. It is a great choice for beef, pork, poultry, ribs, and smoked meats and blends especially well with Oak or Hickory.
Hickory Cooking Wood
Hickory is one of America's classic BBQ smoking woods. It produces a rich, bold smoke and works exceptionally well with pork, beef, poultry, venison, ribs, and brisket. Hickory develops strong coals and long-lasting heat, making it a favorite for serious barbecue and smoking.
Peach Smoking Wood
Peach creates a mild, fragrant smoke with a naturally sweet and fruity character. It is an excellent option for pork, poultry, vegetables, cheese, and lighter foods. Peach is a great choice when you want noticeable smoke flavor without overwhelming the food.
Orange Smoking Wood
Orange wood creates a distinctive mild, fruity and slightly citrus-like smoke. Its aromatic character works especially well with poultry, pork, beef, and grilled foods. Orange is an excellent choice for anyone looking to try something different from traditional Oak or Hickory.
Kiln-Dried Oak Cooking Wood
Kiln-Dried Oak is one of the most versatile cooking woods for smokers, grills, and pizza ovens. Its balanced smoke complements nearly everything without overpowering the food. The kiln-drying process removes excess moisture, helping the wood light easily and produce hot, consistent heat with reduced smoke. Oak works especially well with beef, pork, poultry, pizza, and other wood-fired dishes.
Cedar Wood Chunks
Cedar burns hot and fast with a strong, aromatic scent that can help repel insects around outdoor fires. These approximately 3" × 3" chunks are a great choice for fire pits, camping, kindling, and mixing with other firewood to help get a fire going quickly.
Not recommended for cooking or indoor fireplaces/chimneys.
Why Buy Cooking Wood by the Pound?
Buying smoking wood chunks by the pound lets you purchase exactly what you need. Try several wood flavors, create your own smoking-wood blends, or stock up on your favorite BBQ wood without buying a full bundle or larger quantity.
Our chunks are approximately 3" × 3", but because this is a natural wood product, individual pieces will vary in shape and size. Most varieties are air-dried unless otherwise specified, while our Kiln-Dried Oak receives additional controlled drying.
Great for:
- BBQ smokers and offset smokers
- Charcoal grills
- Pizza ovens
- Wood-fired cookers
- Smoking beef, pork, poultry, venison, vegetables, and cheese
- Mixing different woods to create your own signature smoke flavor
Real wood. Real smoke. Better flavor.
Pick your favorite variety or mix and match several types to discover the cooking wood that works best for your grill, smoker, or pizza oven.
• Burn seasoned, dry firewood—burns hotter, cleaner, and produces more heat
• Start with smaller pieces and kindling to establish a strong fire before adding larger logs- Our homemade Fire Muffins are great starters
• Give your fire plenty of air when starting; adjust airflow once established
• Burn hardwoods like our Hardwood Mix or Premium Oak for excellent heat and longer burn times
• Store firewood off the ground, protected from rain, with good air circulation
• Don't overload your fireplace or stove—add a few pieces at a time and follow manufacturer guidelines
• Never burn treated, painted, or chemically treated wood—avoid plywood, pallets, plastics, and trash
• Have your chimney inspected and cleaned regularly to prevent dangerous creosote buildup- We recommend Queen City Sweeps 704-918-8373
Pro Tip: The best fire starts with good firewood. Dry, properly seasoned wood means easier starts, hotter fires, and less smoke.
