Mesquite

The most intense smoking wood we carry. Not for the faint hearted.

Mesquite delivers a powerful, earthy, almost peppery smoke that's deeply Texan in character. Burns hot and fast — which means short smokes and bold results. Incredible on beef, game meats and dark poultry.

Use it sparingly or blend with a milder wood. When you want smoke that makes a statement, this is the one.

Its roots can reach 200 feet deep to find water, making it incredibly resilient—just like its bold smoke flavour.

The name “Mesquite” comes from the Nahuatl word “mizquitl”, used by indigenous people in Mexico and the Southwestern United States. The mesquite tree (Prosopis) is native to arid regions of Texas, Mexico, and the American Southwest, thriving in dry, sandy soils. It’s known for its deep roots and resilience.
