Locally grown & made in Central Otago
Our premium wood pellets are crafted from sustainably sourced, local New Zealand timber, grown and harvested in the heart of Central Otago. From our land to your backyard, we offer a superior grilling experience with every pellet you light.
Southern Smoke sources its wood from a range of trusted local partners
We work closely with orchards, farms, and arborists to make use of the larger pruning offcuts from fruit trees, trees being replaced in managed orchards, and those cleared during rural or urban development. By giving this wood a second life, we create high-quality pellets while minimising waste and supporting sustainable land use.
I’ve been grilling for years, and these Central Otago Cherry Wood Pellets are hands down the best I’ve ever used! The sweet, fruity flavor they give to my ribs and chicken is unreal. I love that they’re locally sourced, too—supporting local business while getting top-quality pellets is a win-win."
"I recently switched to Southern Smoke pellets for my pellet grill, and I couldn’t be happier. The consistency and clean burn are impressive, they add just the right amount of smokiness to my brisket. I love knowing I’m using premium, locally grown wood from right here in New Zealand. Highly recommend these to anyone who takes their grilling seriously!
"As a lover of wild game, I’ve tried every pellet brand out there, but nothing compares to the quality of Southern Smoke. Their Central Otago Cherry Pellets bring a perfect balance of sweet and smoky to venison and wild boar. Plus, they burn so cleanly, I never have to worry about constant maintenance on my grill. I’m officially a loyal customer!"
