Just ordered a new Lone Star Grillz Pellet Smoker

[okie sawbones]

In no particular order, I use these pellets, Bear Mountain, Lumberjack, and CookinPellets. A cooking buddy swears by Jealous Devil that he gets at Walmart.

You have a fine new toy. Check out the Lone Star website for this: Wood chips. I use them mixed with my pellets. I did a simple comparison of ribs smoked with the wood chips, then the next day without wood chips. Granted, this is not the best way to do it, but it is all that I have to go on. My family all preferred the wood chips version. Anecdotal evidence at best, but it might make you a believer.

Congrats, and may you have many years of smoking pleasure.

Congrats on your new toy, um tool.

The name always reminds me of Spaceballs. If you know, you know.

Don't overlook Kingsford pellets, they are 100% what's on the bag, very good smoke profile even at higher temps, I have never used Traeger so no idea on them, LJ Kingsford Bear mountain are my favorites . If you wrap to finish a oven works well to cut down pellet use, after the smoke is not needed it doesn't care how it gets to temp, I did a rack of BB yesterday for about 4 hours wrapped and put in the oven. turned out great, added some BB sauce which I normally don't but wife likes it. As high as charcoal has gotten I am thinking about a RecTec grill/smoker that runs on pellets, can also smoke, I was getting ready to pull the trigger on a gravity fed when prices jumped up on charcoal. Glad I didn't now.
