Kona Sweetwood Blend Wood Smoker Pellets for Ninja Woodfire & Smokers
Kona Sweetwood Blend wood pellets are a sweet, mild, Caribbean-inspired hardwood blend made for lighter foods and easy everyday smoking. The gentlest blend Kona makes, with a little island character.
Flavor profile
Soft, sweet, and aromatic. Sweetwood adds warmth and a hint of sweetness without the weight of a bold wood, so delicate food still tastes like itself.
Best for
Poultry, pork, seafood, and vegetables. The blend to reach for when you want flavor without smoke that takes over.
Why the wood matters
Real hardwoods blended for a clean, sweet profile, with no fillers or sprayed-on flavor. The sweetness comes from the wood, not from an additive, which is why it stays smooth.
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 over charcoal too. Not designed for hopper-fed pellet grills like Traeger.
The details
- 100% hardwood blend, food grade, no fillers or additives
- Resealable 2 lb, 8 lb, and 16 lb bags (about 80 cooks per 8 lb)
- Clean-burning, low ash, low moisture
- Compatible with the Ninja Woodfire and most smokers and smoker tubes

Great pellets, work as expected. Nice flavor
These wood pellets are clean! What I mean is, they do not have a bunch of dust and broken pieces or paper in them like others we’ve come across. They burn well and have a good flavor. When we used them in a smoke tube, the smoke was a nice bluish color indicating they’re clean and actually wood. We used them to smoke some chicken and it came out great. We are looking forward to smoking a pork butt and some cheese! Definitely recommend!

I've been smoking various meats on a Pit Boss 1150 for around two months, approximately 10 times. I've used Pallets from various manufacturers with a mix of Pallet wood flavors.I was eager to get these pallets and give them a try to make a comparison. The meat I was smoking was a full rack of BB Ribs using the 3-2-1 smoking method at a grill temperature of 225F. As you can see by the video I emptied out the pallet bin and dumped in the KONA brand Pallets. The pallets did well in starting, maintaining temperature, and providing enough smoke. The rib smoke flavor was excellent.
Used these to smoke a turkey for Thanksgiving and they performed great. Great smell and flavor.
i use these in the ninja wood fire that i recently purchased. the flavor on chicken and fish had me ecstatic
The pellets are smaller than the ones incuded with the Nija grill, so they sometimes get too hot and burn.
Some of the Ninja pellets blends produce a stronger, more “charred” aroma. The Kona pellets lets perfectly and the burn smell was heavenly. Kona pellets also cost less than most other competitors.
The smoke flavor from these are so wonderful and we use them in our Ninja Woodfire grill! Will be the only ones we will ever purchase
Good stuff
Awesome wood pellets great flavor. Wonderful won’t use anything else
These pellets ignited easily and burned well. The smoke flavor is subtle and not really "sweet".
Makes the best smoked meat balls
Like all other KONA wood pellets, these worked beautifully in my NINJA woodfire grill. Experienced no flare ups, or wood acid taste. For my taste, the sweet wood blend is best on the market. Have used it for chicken, turkey and pork tenderloins. Great flavor. Making myself hungry just writing this review.
Liked the Kona sweetwood for smoking cream cheese.
It's difficult to say a lot about smoker pellets, but these will stay on my list of go-to's. They lit easily, smoked well, and imparted an excellent, rich, rounded flavor for my briskets.
To achieve the flavor profile, these pellets are made of maple, beech, and cherry which are not known to be the hearty, long-burning woods out there - But they smell fantastic! I also tried them in my wood fired pizza oven and they did great there, burning super hot when I got conditions right.
I like these smoking pellets it gets my meat a nice flavor I also have a pellet holder that I use for my grill that holds pellets and smoke the meat without using a lot of pellets this is a really good price for 8 pounds. Thank you
These are good and just as good as the more expensive ones but won't make you break the bank, they can be used in other grilling or smoking scenarios all the same and are great for getting a rich sweet flavor on your meat. Highly recommended.
These pellets smell good, and are a pretty good deal for the quality. Excited to use on our next meat adventure!
I got these for my wood fired pizza oven and was very pleased. The smoke left a light sweet and smoky flavor. The pellets lit very easily and did not leave a lot of soot. I like that these are 100% hardwood with no additives. I think this flavor would be great with a pork shoulder on a pellet smoker and can't wait to try it.
