    Good pellet, lots of hype

    Posted by Matthew E Sutherlin on Jan 6th 2016

    I am a big fan of the Hickory flavor and smoke getting into the meat that I cook. And I wasn't necessarily dissatisfied with the Traeger brand pellets but just wanted to check around and see what else is out there. After reading a lot about these pellets and the actual wood content versus flavor oils of some pellets I decided to give them a try. No complaints with the pellets at all. Good flavor good smoke and everything you come to expect. Burn time was good. But I really don't feel like they smoked anymore or gave me more flavor than the other Traeger pellets I've used or the Bear Mountain pellets. Good product but I will probably stick with Bear Mountain pellets since I can get them locally and for quite a bit cheaper.

    Good price. Worth the wait

    Had to wait quite awhile to get the pellets, but it was worth the wait. I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for the several week wait. Good price for the amount of product.

    Buy These Pellets, You Won't be Disappointed

    Posted by M. Seaton on Mar 22nd 2015

    I've almost went through my first 40lb bag of these pellets so I figured it was time to write a review. I bought a bag of Hickory and a bag of the blend and I use these pellets in a Traeger smoker - I am very happy with them. I wasn't sure about using another pellet in my Traeger but, I was outside of my warranty anyway so I figured it was worth it after reading how much of the wood you are buying is actually in (or not in I guess) Traeger pellets. Moving forward, I will be buying bags of these as long as they continue to make them.I've cooked shoulder, ribs, chicken, turkey, brisket and prime rib all with fantastic results. You get a lot more flavor than the Traeger pellets, period. They do make a little more ash, they don't hit the temp the Traeger pellets do but there are ways to combat both of those problems and neither of those is a reason to go back to the Traeger pellets. Got more ash, clean more often. Need a higher temp, try mixing 1/3 of these pellets with 2/3 Traeger pellets to hit those higher temps.I have no hesitation recommending these pellets to anyone using a pellet smoker and I think most people will be very happy with the cost and the flavor they produce over Traeger brand pellets.

    Initial lower price wasn't worth it in the end

    Posted by Bob Terwillager on Mar 17th 2015

    I purchased the 100% Hickory pellets. They worked well in the Traeger grill but I did notice that there is a lot more ash than there has been with any other brand. I also noticed that the grill uses more of these to keep it's heat than most other brands. As such the lower price is no longer of any value. I will stick with the Lumber Jack brand.

    Great pellets

    Posted by Michael P on Apr 7th 2014

    I have gone through over 100lbs of Traeger pellets and while they do get the job done I will say that these are far better, like someone else mentioned you can tell the difference just in the smell of the pellets alone. I had Traeger hickory pellets in my hopper and topped it off with these, there was a pronounced difference in the smell after the Traeger pellets were all gone and these started to burn. On my next cook, with these the food was some of the best that I have done yet. The honestly can not tell much of a difference in the ash left in the bottom of my Traeger and I would almost say that there is less than using the Traeger pellets. I use the AMNTS and the two products together help me to make wonderful food. Only downside is now my neighbors are always wondering when we will be inviting them over for dinner again. I am a Amazon Prime member so all I pay for is the product itself so I end up getting them cheaper here than if I got them from CookinPellets.com I would highly recommend them!!
