Plum BBQ & Smoking Chunks
Plum wood comes from trees that thrive in California's Mediterranean climate. The state produces over 95% of America's plums, thanks to ideal growing conditions—hot, dry summers and wet winters paired with rich, fertile soils.
California's plum legacy began in 1850 when French immigrant Louis Pellier brought the Petite d'Agen plum variety to the Santa Clara Valley. He grafted the sweet French cutting onto native American plum rootstock, creating trees perfectly suited to the region. By the 1870s, California's plum and prune production had grown so robust it displaced European imports entirely.
Today, that same California heritage produces the dense, flavorful plum wood prized for smoking and grilling—wood with character shaped by generations of cultivation in one of America's most productive agricultural regions.

Plum wood brings a subtle sweetness to the grill that complements rather than dominates your food. The smoke is clean and refined—it won't mask your seasonings or leave bitter notes. Instead, you get a smooth, distinctive aroma that lets your cooking technique shine through.
Works equally well for low-and-slow smoking or high-heat searing. The flavor profile is versatile enough to pair with minimal seasoning or complex spice blends. Many grillers are surprised by how refined plum smoke becomes as the wood burns, and how little you need to do to make that character stand out.
