just wondering if anyone orders pellets from amazon, If so what condition were they in when they arrived, i've read some reviews on amazon and quite a few people say they come smashed,bags ripped pellets loose in the box. I use pitboss pellets
 
ok thanks, I use the pitboss pellets because they work good and 1/2 the price of other pellets, I can get them at lowes or Walmart for about 16 bucks for 40 lb, I just thought amazon would save me a little over an hour round trip to either of them. maybe i'll order a bag and see what happens. thanks again
 
I've ordered a 40# sack of Perfect Mix Cooking Pellets from Amazon just over a year ago but they're a bit pricey. They did arrive in good condition. Then I ordered bulk direct from cooking pellets and that was much more reasonable in price ordering 15 x 40# bags (If you have room to keep them and if you use that many?) I haven't' priced Lumberjack directly from the company but they are very well priced and I just bought several sacks of them on sale from their normal price of $8.99 and snagged them for $6.99 (20# bag) I just buy them at the local Atwoods.
 
I bought a bag of Lumberjack pellets today at a local RV dealer. I had been wanting to try them because I've
heard they make more and better smoke. They were a lot more expensive than Pit Boss pellets at Lowes, but if I like them better, I wouldn't hesitate to order on line next time.
 
I used to always order cookin pellets from amazon when they were consistently around $30 for a 40lb bag and now they are closer to $40. I have since switched to pitboss 40lb bags of the comp blend and haven't noticed any difference other than paying half the price from Lowes.
 
Try Todds pellets like others have said they work great. Seem to build less ash an burn longer. I have a 40lb bag from sams club that was a christmas gift they do the job but burn really quickly. I use the amazen prllets Todd sells on his site primarily, lots of options good prices.
 
Todd's pellets are great for the tray or tube but not economical for a pellet smoker at almost $60 per 40lbs. The pitboss I use produce very little ash.
 
thanks everyone for your input, i'm sure todd's pellets are awesome but for double to triple the price of pitboss I think i'm going to have to stick with them, I haven't tried lumberjack but they seem to be double the price.
 
I use the Yoder almost 7 days a week, has to be affordable. The Yoder is a bit of a pellet hog
