Product Description
Smoke with character
These aren’t just any wood chunks. Our Cognac BBQ Smoking Chunks are made from the very barrels that once held ageing Cognac spirit — retired French oak casks that have spent years absorbing the complex flavours of one of the world’s most prized brandies. Sourced directly from Spain and dried to the perfect moisture level for smoking, each chunk carries with it a depth of character that ordinary hardwood simply cannot replicate.
When placed on hot coals or inside a smoker, Cognac Barrel Chunks release a slow, steady smoke with warm sweet notes, gentle vanilla, and a subtle fruity richness inherited from the Cognac itself. The result is a nuanced, sophisticated smoke flavour that elevates everything from slow-cooked pork shoulder to smoked duck breast.

How to use
Cognac Barrel Chunks are designed to be used as smoking chunks not chips. Their larger size means they burn more slowly, giving you a sustained smoke over a longer cook. They work brilliantly on all BBQ setups including offset smokers, kamado grills (such as Big Green Egg or Kamado Joe), kettle grills, and pellet-fed smokers with a chunk box.
No soaking required. Dry chunks produce cleaner, more consistent smoke than wet ones. Simply place 2–3 chunks directly onto lit charcoal or your heat source before closing the lid and cooking low and slow.
