Pellets

[dubob]

Your money; your choice. These seven use 70% or more of oak or alder filler - Traeger, Pit Boss, Bear Mountain, Camp Chef, Weber, Green Mountain, Royal Oak. Lumberjack, Cookin Pellets, and BBQer's Delight don't use ANY filler; they are 100% of what ever flavor wood it says on the bag. I can buy Lumberjack (LJ) locally at a great price ($13/20 lb bag) from a business operating out of a home. I haven't had an issue with LJ in over 8 years.

100% agree. Once I tried LJ Comp Blend the search was over. been using them as long as I can remember.

After a couple bag, so far so good with the Kingsford Craftsmoke Hickory pellets, nice flavor and they are the cleanest burning pellets I've ever tried. The Mesquite were just as clean, I preferred the Hickory flavor though(on pork and bison anyway).

It only took one bag of Bear Mnt for me to realize the amount of ash was not worth the price. Been using LJ ever since.

Don't confuse BLENDS with FILLERS . Two very different things .
Oak and alder are used as base wood blends .
Fillers are chemicals / flavored oils , and sometimes various species of softwood .

Not all Lumber jack are 100 % anymore , so that statement can mis lead .
They do a good job of stating 100 % or blend on the bag where you can see it .

I use mainly B&B champ blend , but I'm open to trying the kingsford . I'll grab a bag when I see it .
