I'm in central VA, a bulk order is what I am trying to avoid. I just don't use enough pellets for a bulk order, so a bulk order will last me for a long time. I don't want to have to store a bulk load all that time in my garage.

If you quit buying from places that don't support the 2nd Amendment you wouldn't have many places to buy from these days. Do you buy from Amazon? Belong to Twitter or Fakebook? Have a Gmail account or run Chrome or Firefox? Shop at Sam's Club or Costco own any Apple or Android products? Own a TV or buy anything made in China or Japan? I could go on for days the list is endless these days. I decided yrs ago to check my political views at the door when I need something why pay more for it. It's not like a few bags of pellets are going to save your guns. But to each their own check out my short list and see how big of an impact a few bags of pellets a few times a year is really going to make in relation to the other things listed above that you most likely use daily. I'm a hunter, shooter and a patriot but the way this Country has gone in the last 20+ years it is virtually not possible to live without spending money in stores that don't support the 2nd Admn. sad but true.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.
They also require delivery to a loading dock, or arranging you own delivery. Just not for me and you haven't seen the lack of storage space in my garage. lolGot it.
Just FYI in case you or others in this thread are not aware... a group buy individual order from them is 520lbs - which is 13 bags - and does not take up too much space. It fits on one shelf of a gorilla rack in my shed.
Cabela's pellets are made by LJ and they offer a few blends that are exclusive to Cabela's/Bass Pro. They sell the for $10/bag and a $50 order ships free.

My kid across the street uses Cabelas pellets, I'll check his latest purchase.Are they still? I thought they switched to a different vendor. None of the current Cabela's pellets on their site are listed as 100% flavor wood.
Whatever dude my post was a response to an early post about not shopping at Dick's because of their stance on the second Admend.I would suggest we leave politics out of these discussions - know what I mean Vern? It would be better to keep it on point and friendly.
There's definitely something to this......very distinctive differences in appearance.
Well I gave up on not ordering in bulk and am going to try Cookingpellets.com.
Haven't gotten my lazy derriere to Dick's for some LumberJack yet but I opened up my bag of "Expert Grill" hickory/oak pellets from Walmart last night. Check out some of the pics in the walmart reviews, which are overwhelmingly positive. Mine really were that dark as well. And my first hour of smoke (was doing pork spare ribs last night) was great...incredible smells. But then things started smelling acrid for the remaining smoke. Ribs tasted fine, not as good as I'd hoped but not as bad as I'd feared. Here's some theories to explain the change in smell. Would love to get some feedback:...Walmart...20# bag of "Great Value" pellets (or something similarly branded) for $6.88...
A+ to those of you who went with multiple-choice #4.Haven't gotten my lazy derriere to Dick's for some LumberJack yet but I opened up my bag of "Expert Grill" hickory/oak pellets from Walmart last night. Check out some of the pics in the walmart reviews, which are overwhelmingly positive. Mine really were that dark as well. And my first hour of smoke (was doing pork spare ribs last night) was great...incredible smells. But then things started smelling acrid for the remaining smoke. Ribs tasted fine, not as good as I'd hoped but not as bad as I'd feared. Here's some theories to explain the change in smell. Would love to get some feedback:
1. TMGT...too much of a good thing...I was so engrossed in taking in the great smells I basically overloaded my olfactory nerves and they started giving false readings. In other words, the only change was in my head.
2. Incompatible Partners? I use a large cast iron pan in my pellet grill in place of the factory flame/heat diverter. I fill it with chips and pellets. After about an hour it's giving me some extra smoke, more than just a smoke tube. Last night I filled it with maple chips and the Walmart hickory/oak pellets...maybe that's a blend that just doesn't work??? Are there blends that can be fine individually but are bad together?
3. Humidity issues? I'm a water pan guy but with all the air movement in a pellet machine a pan of water alone doesn't do much. So I supercharge things a bit with a 400Watt water heater element (rated 1500W at 240V) threaded into a bread loaf pan and powered from below. The ribs stayed moist up until the collagen breakdown (juicy) point, but maybe that was just too much humidity for this particular pellet?
4. Something I'm missing?
