About Smyth Cooking Wood

We started this business because we couldn't find quality Post Oak in Colorado.

Which, if you're into Texas style BBQ, is a little like trying to make espresso without coffee. Probably possible, but not ideal.

After a few dead ends trying to find quality Post Oak locally, we figured there had to be other people experiencing the same problem - looking for specific woods and coming up short just because of geography.

So, we decided to start Smyth Cooking Wood to help make quality cooking wood more accessible across the country.

We source cooking wood from regions where it grows, then cut, test, and pack it ourselves. Every order gets checked for moisture content and we include the results so you know exactly what you're putting in your fire.

We're a small, family-run and funded operation. No giant corporations involved, just people who like cooking with wood and probably think about it more than necessary.

We're not trying to build the biggest company. We're just trying to make it easier to get the wood you want, wherever you are, and in a transparent way so you know what you're getting.

If you've ever gone down a rabbit hole about wood species, burn time, or smoke flavor… you're among friends.
