Lumber Jack pellets at Dick's

[Jersey Jimbo]

Dick's sells the Lumber Jack Pellets for 14.99 a bag, I asked if they price match the manager said the item has to have the same sku # as in the ad. I showed them the Rural King ad 8.99 and they honored it. The manager told the cashier that only a manager could give the discount because how much it was . So I grabbed the 3 bags, now I know I will be getting more there, and Tractor supply has Bear Mountain for 9.99 a bag too

Great information.
Don't have a Rural King around here and Dick's is a longer drive than my local store.

Is call that a score. Lumberjack is the way to go. I’d stick up on them at that price

Dicks?

Appreciate the heads up, but I don't shop there.

Something about their take on the 2nd Amendment.

I'd gladly pay more elsewhere.

Getting off of my soapbox.

To me it was a price I could not walk away from so I plan to get what they got when I go. And that's about the only thing I will buy from them.

I understand.

My only local supply for Lumberjack pellets is Dick's and I refuse to shop there. I am running out of pellets and I really don't want to make another bulk order. Tractor Supply has Bear Mountain pellets locally for a good price, does anyone have any first had experience with them. I have read that are good quality but have never used them.

Tractor Supply has Green Mountain pellets locally for a good price, does anyone have any first had experience with them. I have read that are good quality but have never used them.

TS has bear mountain pellets for 9.99 a 20# bag. never used green mountain so I can't give advise on that brand.

Brain fart, I shouldn't post at 1:30 in the morning. I meant Bear Mountain and have corrected my post, thanks.

They're a good pellet for what they are. They are primarily alder - 70% if I recall - with the balance of the flavorwood. Hard to compare to 100% flavorwood LJ.

I picked up hickory and oak Bear Mountain last fall.
Used the oak in a pellet tube to smoke cured yellow fin tuna. Good flavor.

That's what I was afraid of, I don't want chemical flavored pellets.

Thanks, I think I am going to pass on the Bear Mt. pellets. I am going to try and order Lumberjack online from Rural King and see how it goes.

I use bear mountain pellets. There are no chemicals in them. Flavor is great. I consider them high end pellets

Yeah, they are not chemically flavored. They are just a blend of base wood (alder) and flavor wood (the species of wood listed on the bag). Most bbq pellets are like this, with base wood of either oak or alder. No chemicals added.

They are a very good quality, reasonable priced pellet. If you're not looking for 100% flavor wood, they are a great choice.

Looks like my quest will continue. The shipping charges from Rural King make it a dead prospect.

I forgot to mention in my post that BM is an alder base.
The oak/alder was great for fish which needs a lighter smoke.

For basic fuel aka heat in the pellet pooper, I really want a neutral flavor. I'm currently using an equal blend of Maple, Hickory, and Cherry Lumberjack pellets because I got them on sale.
My next fuel is a bag from Sam's
I add my flavor with a smoke tube filled with pellets of choice.
Lumberjack will go on sale later this spring so I will stock up on my favorite pellets.

Which blend do you prefer?
I got the "Classic Barbecue" and now they added "Smokehouse Blend"

I've only used the smokehouse blend. Our sam's just now started carrying the classic

Where are you located? You might consider a LJ bulk purchase from bbqpelletsonline. For me in NorCal, they costs about 40cents/lb including shipping.
