Old Gwernyfed is our 16th century home which includes 200 acres of woodland. Gwernyfed Wood is sourced solely from this woodland, we harvest the wood under our sustainable woodland management scheme, transport it to our yard, only 1 mile away where it is processed into logs, wood chip, wood chunks or Kindling and then kiln dried in our own biomass kiln to a moisture content of under 20%. We are accredited under the Woodsure scheme accreditation number WS700/00001.
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 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 wood is split down into roughly fist sized chunks, though due to the natural product boxes will contain some thumb sized pieces.
