Western BBQ Products

Western Premium BBQ Products has been drying real wood for the fire since 1972 — a proper American wood house, now part of the Duraflame family, that’s spent more than 25 years perfecting one job: turning real trees into real smoke.

No chemical binders, no shortcuts. Every batch — dried in roughly 10,000-pound lots — is tested for moisture content and logged for consistency, which is why Western chips light fast, burn clean, and leave behind around 2% ash, next to nothing next to the 18–28% a chemically-bound briquet leaves in your firebox.

Five flavours make the trip over: Apple for a sweet, fruity smoke that goes gently on pork and chicken; Cherry for mild sweetness and that deep mahogany colour on chicken and seafood; Hickory for the classic, bold backyard BBQ flavour; Mesquite for something bold and earthy enough to stand up to brisket; and Pecan for a nutty, mellow smoke that suits just about anything off the grill.

Load a handful into a smoker box, scatter it straight over the coals, or soak first for a slower release — either way you’re 15 to 20 minutes from a fire that’s ready to cook. Real wood, real smoke, no nonsense. Smuggled ashore by The Rub Hub.
