Bear Mountain Owns Lumberjack?

[DougE]

Yes i did see where Dicks sells Lumberjack pellets but they are almost double the price of what Rural King charged for them. I think I will give the Cabelas wood pellets a try.

A report after you've tried them would be appreciated. Where Rural King pulled Lumberjack out of their stores has a lot of us looking for alternatives. Pit Boss and Traeger are readily available, but I don't care for them. Kingsford is available, and though I like them well enough, they're way more expensive than Lumberjack.

I picked up a bag of Bear Mountain apple from TSC this weekend. Haven't had a chance to try them yet. They only had 2 bags of apple. But the manager said that he would rain check me in whatever I wanted I just had to let them know

I went by Cabelas and bought a bag of the Cabelas competition smoking pellets. I did ask them who made them and they said in the past it was Lumber Jack but they said now they are made by Bear Mountain. I compared the pellet color to the Lumber Jack competition blend and the Cabelas are lighter in color, but I don't know if that even means anything. I have only had my pellet smoker a few months so I really don't know what to look for when it comes to a quality pellet.

I just read on the rec tec forum that a member called Lumberjack and asked them if they were making the RK branded pellets. They said that they are not making them.

Not that I’m aware of. I actually make the rec teq ultimate blend.

Ok, but what does what rec teq sells have to do with who is making the RK branded pellets Rural king is selling?

Well I am down to 1/2 a hopper and a few in a bucket, will try rural king brand before I go to Kingsford full time, they are very good pellets but pricey, can find them most of the time

Yeah, the Kingsford go for $20 for a 20# bag around here. I like the flavor I get out of them, but dang.

Im using Kingsford right now and love them. Getting them for $14/lb but from a local country grocer. If I can get them for that price I will continue

Kingsford are as good as Lumberjack from my limited trials, but $20 a bag is kind of rough. $14 a bag sounds better.

Eye opener! I stopped by Cabelas and noticed they have new bags, too. Checked and the pellets do not look the same as LJ.

You are a much richer person (staying gender identity neutral) to pay $14 per pound for pellets.

And you are whom?

Man all that is way spendy. Local guys around here sell LB for $10 a 20lb bag with tax.

 

[markv]

A gentleman stated he had inquired as to if rec teq was producing the pellets in question. As I make the ultimate blend and have for sometime now. I knew this was not correct and commented on it.

Now that is interesting.
