Northeast Grilling Woods 

Northeast Grilling Woods are produced and packaged in Brooks, Maine using only wood harvested by hand by local woodcutters and farmers.  Our wood comes fresh from small woodlots and family farms in the nearby rural areas of coastal and central Maine.  The wood is then sawn, chunked and chipped using pure oils—no diesel or hazardous oil. The wood is then dried, packaged and shipped directly from our farms to your home, restaurant, food service or retail location.  Our truly satisfied customers can be found in all 50 US states as well as Canada.

Our competitors’ grilling planks are just like boards from a lumber yard cut rectangular to fit the grill.  What’s really happening is that these woods are cut on the long grain of the wood. Our Organic Natural Ovals are so much different. Think about it:  the trunk of a tree is made up of long tubular cells that go from the roots to the branches carrying water and nutrients to all parts of the tree.  Clearly, the distinctive flavors of each wood species are contained in these cells.  Our oval planks are sliced skillfully across said cells and the result is the slow release of amazing wood flavors into your meats, fish, vegetables and baked goods as they cook on your grill or broil in your oven.  The taste is truly incredible—and fat/carbohydrate/cholesterol free!  We can bet that you’ll love our planks, and our prices, too!

Don’t you worry about us cutting down all Maine’s trees:  Maine is the most heavily forested state in America with more standing trees now than in the year 1900.  The state’s long tradition of sustainable harvest practices have deep roots in the families who own many of the small woodlots that make up a large portion of Maine woodlands.  For these families, their woodlands serve as living income producers for a lifetime.  The trees supplement the family earnings, contribute to their college funds, retirement accounts, and rainy day savings.  You can support Maine’s farmers TODAY by purchasing our woods here.

Our Northeast Grilling Woods play an important role in the process by providing a premium market for specialty trees that have to be harvested in a special way.  The trees our farms harvest are naturally organic wild trees.  These are not chemically-treated plantation trees of the industrial forest.  Our trees are tailored to be a certain size and shape and must be harvested by hand.  For the wellbeing of our consumers as well as our earth, our farmers are required to use all natural oils in their harvesting.  Unmistakably, mechanical harvesting can excessively damage the trees and the fragile land. 

We invite you to enjoy the incredible flavor of our Maine-grown grilling and smoking woods.

Enjoy!!
