I haven't used the cobb pellets yet , but I think I can get some close by and need to take a look . I might not have your patience though .
I've been using Beech pellets for hams and bacon . I mix in some mesquite and cherry for color .
Like Richie said , post it up .

Swear I posted here... Uncle was corn farmer and cobs were used to start his fireplace. Pretty much all farmers in my area farmed corn and used them too. The smell immediately takes me back. I never heard until recently that apparently cob is used for smoking hams and bacon in Vermont. In any event, a combination of nostalgia, cost, and uniqueness, I was drawn to them and I can also get as much as I want less than a mile away. I ran it a looong time and liked it but nowadays I much prefer it in a blend which gives things a very old fashioned result. IMO perfect for old school bacon or ham. I found they were easier to light than hardwood and burned a bit faster too. Consider this when using a pellet grill. I am forever in debt of Pops for researching and posting about cob.

Yep, Pops got me started on them, and now that's all I use for bacon and ham. I usually go with a 70/30 ratio of cob to cherry, but I'm thinking next time I'll try peach and see what happens.

I just pulled a mutilated Costco boneless pork shoulder out of Pop’s brine. They really hacked it up but it looked nice in the package. It’s been in soaking for 2 weeks. I have no idea if I will like corn cob smoke but it sounds like a lot of you folks use it. At ten bucks for a 40 lb bag and a mutilated shoulder, why not try it?

Sven, I hear you on those Costco boneless. They look like Lizzy Borden went to town on them. That's why I debone myself.
