Whether you’re a weekend braai lover or a seasoned pitmaster, these premium plum wood chunks deliver a mild, sweet, and fruity smoke that enhances your meats without overpowering their natural flavours. Pair it with flavourful spritzes to take your smoking game to the next level!

Why Plum Wood is a Smoking Favourite

Plum wood is celebrated for its gentle flavour profile, making it perfect for smoking delicate meats. Its slow-burning nature and aromatic sweetness create a subtle yet impactful smokiness that pairs beautifully with poultry, pork, and fish.

Here’s why our Plum Wood Smoking Chunks stand out:

* Mild Sweet Smoke: Adds a delicate fruity flavour reminiscent of the plum fruit itself.

* Locally Sourced and Crafted: Proudly made in South Africa, ensuring high-quality, seasoned wood, ready for smoking your favourite cuts of meat.

* Hand-Picked Excellence: Each chunk is carefully selected to ensure consistent size and optimal burning performance.

* Supports Local Communities: Choosing our plum wood helps generate jobs and sustain local businesses.

* Perfectly Sized Chunks: Each box contains approximately 14 chunks (1 - 1.5KG), ideal for consistent smoke production.

* Versatile Use: Suitable for home smokers, kettle braais, and professional kitchens.

* Eco-Friendly Choice: Sustainably sourced as a byproduct of pruning, making it an environmentally conscious option.

Best Pairings for Plum Wood

Plum wood’s mild sweetness complements a variety of meats and dishes. Here’s how to really make the most of it:

* Chicken: Perfect for whole birds or wings, adding a light fruity touch to poultry.

* Pork: Ideal for ribs or pulled pork, balancing the richness with subtle sweetness.

* Fish: Enhances delicate seafood like salmon or hake with its mild smokiness.

* Lamb: Adds depth to lamb chops or roasts without overpowering their natural flavour.

For an elevated experience, pair plum wood with marinades featuring honey or spice rubs infused with cinnamon or paprika to create mouth-watering dishes.

Spritz Ideas to Enhance Your Plum-Smoked Meats

Spritzing your meat during smoking adds moisture and layers of flavour while complementing the sweet smokiness of plum wood. Try these spritz ideas:

* Apple Juice Spritz: Mix apple juice with a splash of apple cider vinegar for added sweetness and tanginess that pairs beautifully with pork and chicken.

* Honey Water Spritz: Combine warm water with honey and a dash of lemon juice for a light glaze effect that enhances fish and poultry.

* Herb-Infused Spritz: Steep rosemary or thyme in water for an aromatic spritz that complements lamb and chicken perfectly.

* Citrus Spritz: Blend orange juice with lime zest and water for a refreshing burst of citrusy flavour that balances the mild smoke of plum wood.

Spritz your meat every 30–45 minutes during smoking to keep it moist while infusing it with these delicious flavours.

How to Use Plum Wood Smoking Chunks

Using our Plum Wood Smoking Chunks is simple and effective. Follow these steps to achieve perfect results:

1.) Prepare Your Smoker or Braai:
Pre-heat your smoker or Weber braai to a temperature of 107-121°C (225-250°F), ideal for low and slow cooking.

2.) Pre-heat the Wood Chunks:
Place the chunks on top of the firebox or next to the coals to pre-heat them. Pre-heating ensures clean smoke without any bitter flavours.

3.) Add the Chunks to the Fire:
Once pre-heated, add the chunks directly onto hot coals or into your smoker box for consistent smoke production.

4.) Monitor and Add Chunks as Needed:
Add one chunk every 30–45 minutes to maintain steady smoke levels throughout the cooking process.

5.) Start Smoking:
Once the chunks begin emitting their signature sweet smoke, place your meat on the grill and let the plum wood infuse it with rich flavour.
