Manzanita Wood for Smoking, BBQ & Firewood – Air Seasoned
Corliss Ridge Manzanita – Curating the Unusual, Celebrating the Unique, and Sharing the Beautiful
100% Natural | Dense Hardwood | Premium Smoke Flavor
Experience the powerful heat and subtly smoky flavor of air-seasoned Manzanita wood, sustainably harvested from our private land in the Sequoia Forest of California, just minutes from the towering Redwood Giants. Each piece is naturally cured using the traditional "air seasoning" method for minimum of 5 years, allowing the wood to dry slowly outdoors for peak density and burning quality.
Manzanita is one of the densest woods in North America, and it produces intensely hot, long-burning coals with a clean, mellow smoke—perfect for BBQ, smoking meats, or as high-efficiency firewood.

Naturally Gray Exterior with beautiful deep red tones inside

With over 30 acres of natural forest land, all of our Manzanita is collected from downed trees only—no live harvesting. We take pride in traditional, responsible stewardship of this exceptional hardwood. All wood removed is to prevent wild fires and protect our forest.
