Kona 100% Cherry Wood Smoker Pellets for Ninja Woodfire & Smokers

Kona 100% Cherry wood pellets are pure cherry hardwood, mild and sweet with a touch of tartness, and they lend a deep mahogany color to whatever you smoke. Sized for the Ninja Woodfire's smoke box, where one scoop is all it takes.

Flavor profile

Cherry runs a step richer than apple. Sweet, lightly tart, and fruity, and it darkens the bark beautifully. One of the most forgiving woods you can put in a smoker.

Best for

Pork and poultry, beef, and ribs or pork shoulder especially. It's the wood people reach for when they want color and a sweet edge. Blends well with hickory or oak when you want a fuller, deeper profile.

Why the wood matters

Plenty of pellets labeled cherry aren't really cherry, just a cheap base wood dosed with flavor oils. Kona's is real cherry hardwood, the actual species, with nothing sprayed on. That's why the sweetness reads clean instead of artificial, and why it lasts through a real cook.

How to use it

In the Ninja Woodfire, one scoop, about 1/3 to 1/2 cup, gives roughly 30 to 90 minutes of smoke depending on temperature. Works in a smoker tube or sprinkled over charcoal too. Not designed for hopper-fed pellet grills like Traeger.
