    100% Mesquite Pellets

    Sadly they have. I copied the E-mail below...Dick's still has them, but they're $25 a bag, which is ridiculous. Alright, well, looks like I'll have to try the blend to see what those results are like. E-mail: Hi Stuart, Thank you for using Lumber Jack brand grilling pellets! We discontinued...

    100% Mesquite Pellets

    Alright - I've given up. To preface the conversation, I really appreciate a pellet that is 100% of what is says on the bag. If it says Hickory, I better be getting 100% Hickory hardwood, nothing else. That is why I have migrated towards only using Lumberjack and Cookinpellets. Say what you...

    If you're using those aluminum pans from costco - you have 2.5 gallons of liquid slowly evaporating in the chamber + a beautiful fatty pork butt!!! No need.

    Put the full water aluminum pan in. Pre-heat to 350, let it stay there for 10 minutes. Turn it down to 225 or whatever you want. Open the door, put the meat in, close the door. Within 1 hour it will be within 25 degrees or less. Within 2 hours, it'll be 15 or less.

    Ya definitely spend future money not on trager pellets. Marketing scheme. Not 100% hardwood pellets. Not.worth the $$$

    1. Yes if you can keep it dry. 2. Yes if you dont switch your pellets out ever for different woods

    Unless you need to cook above the 425-450 max the smoker goes to, pointless.

    Walmart has PitBoss pellets - competition blend- for dirt cheap. I personally hate these pellets bc they give you almost no smoke. I'm sure others would disagree - but that's what you're looking for.

    Honestly, you could get a mild pellet and turn it up to a highertemperature where almost none of that super smokey smoke is produced.

    Your Favorite Pellets?

    They are garbage. Dont use them. Major regrets. All filler wood.

    Costco Louisiana Grills Series 7 Pellet Vertical Smoker

    Ya that's sadly pretty normal. The placement of the internal thermometer is less than idea. What I do is keep a thermometer in the meat and one right below it (ambient temp) and set the smoker temperature to WHATEVER would get me to 250 that you're talking about. Who really cares what the actual...

    Your Favorite Pellets?

    Hey! Took everyone's advice on the Lumber Jack and ordered 200 pounds. If it's hard to get in your area, Dick Sporting Goods has them for $10 bucks a bag right now with FREE home delivery for orders over 25 bucks. Definitely a steal where I live. Happy shopping.

    Your Favorite Pellets?

    So questions about Lumberjack pellets. Are they 100% flavor wood Price per pound you've found them for (and where)? A lot of folks on here recommend those, but they also recommend Cookinpellets...thoughts?
