Cherry wood smells like no other cooking wood out there, it's simply amazing - and in our view there's no comparison to the depth of colour it can give your food.

It's a rare thing to be offered a large amount of cherry timber, so when we noticed there was a lot being felled during a recent ash dieback clearance in the woods near our house, we made sure to get the number of the guy who could sell it to us. So here we have cherry wood that's about as local as it comes, dried to under 20% moisture - perfect to add something a little special to your open fire cooking, pizza oven or offset smoker.
