Great product, but VERY costly
Great product. I use nothing else. If you know of a 100% hickory pellet at a better price, PLEASE let me know, as the price of these pellets are REALLY high.

Not as strongly flavored as wood and as I like it, but they are pellets after all
Not as strongly flavored as wood and as I like it, but they are pellets after all. Supplement with a smoker tube and not overall too bad

Thumbs up!
I've used hundreds upon hundreds of Traeger pellets in my Texas grill, predominantly because the warranty said to or "else", and because they have at the local stores. Got my first bag of CookinPellets in hickory and tried them today on a 15 hour smoke of a coupe pork shoulders.They a have much better smell and flavor than the Traeger pellets, and seemed to provide for less temperature swings at the lower temps. That said, holy cow my grill mows through these much faster than the Traeger pellets. Maybe they don't burn as hot - may expain the more consistent temps. Will buy again.

Great flavor in the 15lbs of pork butt I smoked

Great pellets, good flavor
Great pellets, good flavor, but i'm getting a bit more smolder/dirty smoke and not much thin smoke at low temps. Because of that, i'm cutting these with other lighter woods (apple/maple blend from louisiana). 100% hickory sounds good in theory, but in reality it just doesnt seem to burn well at a low temp/pellet count. Still giving four stars as Its great when mixed.

The first bag of pellets I ever ordered and still the best
Update 7/16/20The CookinPellets 40H Hickory Smoking Pellets have become my favorite, I have tried a bunch of different pellets over the last few years But I always come back to the "40H Hickory" everyone enjoys them.I see some bad reviews about plastic in the mix or no flavor I haven't seen anything like that and everyone compliments the flavor. I have a feeling those reviews maybe fake since there are hundreds of good reviews including mine. I am coming back for another bag and just had to update my review to let you all know these are top quality and I have purchased them from multiple retailers and have always been happy but don't listen to me or anyone else, give them a try you won't regret it.this is my first bag of pellets and these pellets did add some nice smokey flavor to all the food I cooked with it.Ribs, pulled pork, chicken wings, steaks all tasted great on my new grill using the hickory pellets.I also bought a bag of mixed smoking pellets from cooking pellets which were also excellent and added really nice smokey flavor and you can taste the difference between the pellets so it is worth it to try both.I am giving it 4 stars because I liked the mixed pellets better but there's nothing wrong with this flavor

Nice Pellets.
Love the price of these pellets. they seem to burn a little less than others i've tried. I prefer the perfect blend over the Hickory but both are good.

Pellets you can actually taste a difference with
This review is for the CookinPellets Hickory Smoking Pellets. I'll get to them shortly but I want to give some context and advice that I think will be helpful. I'm fairly new to smoking food, having started in the summer of 2015, and my initial experiences with imparting any kind of smoke flavor in the foods I smoked were disappointing. I thought "is this what I get after investing all this time, effort and money?". After researching on various smoking forums I found 2 things to be prevalent in regards to smoke flavor; 1) generally speaking pellet grills BY THEMSELVES don't give you a lot of smoke flavor in your food, and 2) the difference in pellets from one manufacturer to another is significant in the results you get.To help with #1 I highly recommend you supplement your smoke with a smoke tube. Research it, get it and use it. It does make a difference. I burn 100% apple or cherry in my tube while the 100% CookinPellets hickory goes in the hopper.Regarding #2 - A bag if pellets that says "hickory" on them, but does not tell you that it is 100% hickory, is almost assuredly a mix of hickory and a filler wood OR flavor oils and filler wood (like alder). You have no idea if you're getting 30%, 20% or whatever % hickory. This is true with any type of wood pellet. The filler woods generally don't give you any flavor. I went through this when I first started by buying what the local store had to sell: brands like Traeger which do not list their ratios. This is why my food was a dissapointment... There are comments that Traeger uses flavor oils in their pellets but I don't know if that's true because they don't tell you what's in them. Why won't a manufacturer tell you this information? It's because they are hiding something. I went through several brands and they were severely dissapointing. I have 4 half used bags of those various brands/woods types going into the trash (cleaned up my garage yesterday) because it would be a waste of food and time to use them. While it can be difficult to do I no longer buy pellets unless the manufacturer clearly states the mix of woods in the product. No description, no sale.So that brings me to my review of the CookinPellets Hickory Smoking Pellets. I was hooked the first time I used these. You could smell the difference when the food was cooking and the taste of the food was amazing. I currently go through approximately 1 bag a month of these and will continue to do so as long as they keep up the price and product quality. They burn well and I've never had a heat or ash issue out of the norm. I only wish they offered 100% cherry and apple.In closing a little advice from a relative newbie smoker:1) Use a pellet that tells you whats in it. I like the CookinPellets Hickory Smoking Pellets and highly recommend them, but there are a few others out there. Stay away from brands that don't specify. While there's nothing wrong with a mix of wood species (hickory w/cherry for example) they should tell you what your getting.2) Reasearch and read the smoking forums. You'll learn a lot.3) Use a tube smoker and experiment with other wood types than what is in your hopper.

Also seems like more smoke is produced than the perfect mix
Seems to burn hotter (ie, use less pellets to stay at a certain temperature) than the "perfect mix" pellets. Also seems like more smoke is produced than the perfect mix. A few more experiments will need to be done, but I think they produced good flavor.Also I am amused that Amazon offers a "Protection Plan" for something that is meant to be burned and consumed.
