I ordered some post oak chunks and paid by PayPal. Once I got shipping confirmation i realized the address was wrong and sent a message to Fruita wood and explained the error. I didn't blame Fruita wood as this was obviously a pay pal error. Since it hadn't shipped yet this could have been easily fixed. Instead the owner Bert told me to deal with PayPal. Which is what I did. Then he got upset because I went to pay pal. I didn't file a claim I just opened an inquiry to let pal pay know there was a problem. Bert obviously has social issues as I read other complaints where Bert's more interested in proving his point rather than just taking care of his customers. I certainly won't be ordering again and I'll let as many people as I can know what kind of business this is . read more

There are much more reputable places to buy wood chunks online than this business. I made the mistake of attempting to make a purchase that still has not arrived to date. I keep getting new notices of delivery dates with what appears to be an exploded box of wood chunks lost in the FedEx system. I have sent emails to Bret, during business hours asking for a refund, the last on Friday, without a response. Next step, I know my credit card will respond on a chargeback request within seconds. I would avoid using this business due to the sheer lack of customer service from the staff. In attempting to communicate with Bert, the business owner, is like dealing with a 5 year old in the midst of an epic tantrum, wanting a blue tube of M&M's and won't stop screaming until he embarrasses his parents enough , they finally break down and gives their brat the M&M's. So sad and pathetic. After nearly a week late delivery attempt, I refused delivery and Bert, the business owner has become unhinged and is now making threats of credit card fraud. I forgot to add, the charge back dispute was successful and my credit card has already posted a full refund. It's hard to believe Bert does not have better and more productive things to attend to, than argue over $39.00. read more

I've been using Fruita for all of my smoking wood needs for years. Very timely service and great products.

Good guys great selection of wood rubs sauce and all the supplies you need. I bought a Masterbuilt grill from them. Same price as the big box stores. Hint: ask them what it takes to assemble it for you. read more

Plenty of choices. You want wood chunks? Chips? Logs? This place has your smoking wood. Very good lineup of rubs, and almost every rub has a tester so you can try then buy. Always plenty of sauces, as well. Hot to sweet, this place can find what's your need. Carries lots of accessories to play with fire and food! If you're looking for Thermoworks....has that, too. Prices are spot on, as well. Amazon couldn't beat this place, I tried. Owner is super knowledgeable on everything smoke related. Also, try their Friday BBQ......wow it's delish! read more

I order online and have my wood shipped to California. Wood is good quality and clean. You get what you pay for. Shipping is sufficient and I have not had any problems with packages coming late. If you want to try a new smoking wood, you should try the Peach. I smoked some pork butts and rib tips with peach and post oak mini splits. It did some amazing things. No sauce needed!! read more

I used to love Fruita wood. Catch that? Used to! For years, I ordered Fruita wood. I told a friend how much I liked it and, years ago, she started sending a box of it to me as a birthday present. This year, the wood all had thick bark on it (it had come nearly absent of bark in the past), completely misshapen (it had been pretty uniformly cut previously), and seemed dry. I emailed Bert about it, even telling him how much I appreciated the many good shipments in the past, noting that it's pricey but worth it. He expressed zero concern to this longtime customer. Rather, he just told me his moisture meter registered that the wood was fine and told me to mail him a picture of the wood. I wasn't sure what that would prove, but I did. I sent it to his email and also, as he requested, to his phone. That was days ago. I'm still waiting for a reply. If dismissiveness and defensiveness is his go-to, even to a years-long, (formerly) loyal customer, he can can take that wood of his and... Well, let me just say that I'll be ordering from another company in the future. read more

This is the worst store I have ever been too!! I meet the owner Bert Fraser and he was incredibly rude not only to me but to the other customers that were in the store too. It's was like we were inconveniencing him for being there. I would not recommend going to this store unless you like being treated like your below the owner. If your not happy with the business that your running then you should close your doors and allow this community to put in a store that actually wants to be there. After leaving there I did some research and found out that he has another business which totally shocked me, not only does this guy own a wood store but also has a food truck called Practical Smokers. I'm sure he's going to exceed in both business with his customer service skills!! LOL read more

Great place to buy a large variety of woods for smoking. All sizes - don't see what you want - ask and they will chip it/cut it for you. Lots of rubs and sauces. All that I have tried have been excellent, but I prefer to make my own - part of the fun of the whole smoking experience for me. But - try them out. (He also smokes meat for purchase - but you really need to check with him for times and variety. I haven't done this but I would expect a quality product). Bert has a large number of smokers to sell - wood, gas, pellet, electric, etc. But what he does best is give advice. He helped us pick a smoker, woods, and the spices. I think pairing of wood type to the meat you smoke makes a huge difference in the end result. HIGHLY recommended! read more

They've moved to 596 North Commercial Drive, Grand Junction, Colorado; call before you go to make sure they're open and that they have what you want on hand. The prices are more than reasonable if you bring your own container. They also have a wide variety of rubs and sauces. read more

I have been emailing with the owner and it has been an absolute pleasure. Helpful answers, immediate replies. Keep up the great job!!!

Good wood but the worst customer service ever. The owner is very rude. Apparently when they mess up an order, it's YOUR fault, not theirs and they don't hesitate to berate you via email and call you a horrible person among other things. Guess I'll be buying my wood elsewhere. read more

I ordered wood from two different companies for use on my offset horizon smoker and so far this wood burns the best. I like the free shipping aspect. The price is a bit more than I was oping to pay for wood, but living in LA there aren't many reliable options I am aware of ( when smoking food it's important to have the right type of wood). I ordered Texas post oak last time. Today I ordered white oak and Texas post oak which should be comparable. The wood arrived quite fast by comparison to the other place I tried out. read more

Best place in town to get cooking wood. Cut however you need it. They have a nice assortment of seasonings and other grilling items. read more

Fruita Wood & BBQ Supply - Herbs & Spices Near Me - Wheat Ridge, Colorado

Solid products. The worst customer service I have ever experienced. Literally. No exaggeration. On 28 January I ordered wood for a BBQ competition on 7 February. On 29 January I received an email saying the order was shipped (tracking number included) and was expected to be delivered on 1 February, in plenty of time for the competition. All is well, right? Wrong. On 5 February, after the weekend, I call to check on the order, as I have not received it yet. The man on the phone literally yelled at me about how the website showed the item out of stock, even though to the best of my knowledge I never saw anything during the order process indicating it was out of stock. I asked the dude not to yell at me. Repeatedly. I asked him why I had received the shipping confirmation with tracking number. And then he started yelling about how it was out of stock, so how could they have shipped it? If they would have told me at any point that the wood was out of stock, I would have simply chosen a different wood, and still have had wood for the competition. Instead I'm taking my refund and my business elsewhere, after years of ordering from Fruita. If a company makes a mistake, they need to be willing to accept that and make it right. And in no circumstance should the customer service guy be yelling at a customer on the phone. What a disgusting experience. If I could rate zero stars, I would do that. read more

A friend recommended this company to me after I expressing my frustration with the end product of smoking brisket and pork shoulder. Both were good, but after purchasing a good smoker I did not get any better. I have been ordering smoke wood from Fruita for a year now. If there is one single thing one can do to improve smoking it is quality wood that this company has. It makes a HUGE difference. The smoke chunks you purchase at store in plastic bags is not even in the same league as Fruita's smoke wood. The wood is cured perfectly, it is clean and even smells fresh. When smoking something for 6-12 hours it make all the difference in the world. You order, it is typically sent out ASAP and arrives in roughly 4 days (CA). I cannot say enough about the quality of their products. My friends fight over my pulled pork and brisket now.... Oh btw they are chefs and restaurant managers in SF.. If that tells you anything.. It;s not really my part in the process, it's the wood purchased here... Thanks.. read more
