Traeger said their pellets are 2/3rds White Oak or Alder depending on which coast it was made on and 1/3rd the flavor on the bag. BBQ'ers Delight 20lbers are similar blended with a fraction being the flavor on the bag. Fuel and flavor with the big bags. The oak burns cleaner, hotter with less ash for pellet burners in pellet smokers. Like Todd's pellets, the BBQ'ers Delight 1lbers are 100% wood on the bag.
I forgot to mention I have Traeger's Pecan and like it a lot. The pellets are much lighter in color than the 100% Pecan but I do like blends like Todd's Pitmasters Choice (Maple, Cherry and Hickory.)
It's perfectly acceptable to call them "flavor" pellets because just about any wood pellet imparts a flavor to the food that is being smoked over it. I think the flavors are more discernible with wood logs and chunks. That being said, I used alder for the first time a few weeks ago and the smoke and flavors were noticeably different from any wood pellet I'd used before. If wood didn't impart its own smoky flavors onto food, pitmasters wouldn't be so picky about the woods they use in their pits.
I would not call them "flavor" pellets, they are from trees, apple trees, oak trees, hickory, cherry and so on, yes we use them in our Masterbuilt smoker and like them much better than wood chips.
we like to use a mix of apple, pecan and hickory . A hand full will last about 20 minutes then time to put in another hand full.
We just did 2 whole cured pork loins and a ham see how they turned out. Take a GOOD look at the ham, notice it is on a ROTISSERIE ! The FIRST thing you want to do is ADD a rotisserie to your smoker, you will love it ! The rotisserie we used is a model 60090 made by Grrillpro. It is their HEAVY DUTY unit and it is GREAT ! Please let me know if you put one in or if you have questions you may email me direct at [email protected]
Bear, I priced them. A Weber rotisserie would cost almost twice as much as what I paid for my Weber kettle grill itself.
I meant in my Weber "Q". There is no room for a Rotisserie in a "Q".
No one said it was a Weber rotisserie. I was talking about the Weber rotisserie designed for the Weber One Touch Kettle Grills. Those things cost $149 and I only paid $69 for my 22.5" One Touch Silver some years ago. You're right about a rotisserie making meat self-basting but I choose to not install one in my MES 30. Not really enough interior space and I wouldn't use it much anyway.
Well first of all, this is not a webber rotisserie, it is mad e by grillpro about the model number, don't know has glass in the door will this photo help The big thing about a rotisserie is it is SELF BASTING
I thought by Weber Q you meant your charcoal kettle grill. That's what I meant by Weber Q.
