Fruita Wood coming back

Email this morning:

I am proud to announce that one of my suppliers has elected to take over the websites in effort to keep fruitawood.com and fruitawood chunks.com ALIVE!!!

I am confident the Denver Firewood team will be able to continue providing you the same quality wood I have for the past 16 years. 

I am in the process of transferring the websites and all necessary information over to them. Please allow sufficient time to update the websites and get inventory available to start accepting orders. 

I sincerely appreciate the opportunity you all gave me over the past 16 years, with providing smoking wood for your backyard cooks and for your competition needs. I was blessed to find a niche, which provided me with not only a stable income, but something I loved doing. I look forward to retirement and hopefully spending a few day on the competition trail if time allows.

You all have been the very best customers whom I considered friends. Out of the hundreds of thousands of orders I received, I can honestly say I had less than a handful that weren't happy, and I couldn't please. They never let me get down though as I knew I was doing everything possible to make it right.


Thank you again for a wonderful 16 years.

    Hope he was able to pad that retirement as well.

    I just bought 3 cases of chunks before he sent the memo he was shutting down, I was very happy to see that it will remain open. 

    How stupid is this……

    Suzy and I hit Colorado frequently and one trip we dedicated to the western canyon area to check for communities we would consider moving to. One of the things going for the Colorado National monument area is Frutia, I felt it an obligation to stop in. It also was plus points for the area we are considering. 

    Who knows where we will end up. But it would be nice to drive over and pick up some high quality smoking wood when you need it.

    The latest from Fruitawood Chunks:

    Happy Memorial Day Weekend! 🇺🇸🔥 

    As we head into this meaningful holiday weekend, we wanted to take a moment to send you a note of appreciation. We hope you're doing what we are—spending time outdoors, firing up the grill or smoker, sharing great food, and making memories with family and friends. 

    While it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of a long weekend, we also pause to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day: honoring the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage and dedication make weekends like this possible, and for that, we are deeply grateful. 

    In the language of backyard barbecuers and smoke pit warriors, this weekend is more than just a holiday—it’s the official kickoff to summer. The smell of wood and charcoal, the sizzle of meat, and the sound of laughter around the table mark the return of the season we all look forward to. Whether you're slow-smoking a brisket, flipping burgers, or simply enjoying a cold drink in the sunshine, we hope you're soaking in every moment. 

    We’ve also got some exciting news to share: after a whirlwind month following our relaunch, we’re thrilled to announce that we’re finally caught up and back to a 3-business-day turnaround on all orders! That means faster delivery, fresher cooking wood, and more time for you to do what you love—grilling, smoking, and serving up unforgettable meals. 

    Thank you for your continued support, your patience, and for being part of our community. We’re proud to serve people who appreciate great food, premium cooking wood, and the timeless joy of gathering.

    👉 Tap to order | 🔥 Stay fired up

    Wishing you a safe, joyful, and flavor-filled Memorial Day weekend.
