Pitmasters Choice

[azbohunter]

I will be traveling with a 5th wheel for about 4 months starting in June and I need to order a supply of pellets as I haul my MES 30 along on the trip!

Trying to keep it simple as possible but still with hopes of good results on "whatever" I might smoke.

For sure I will have a bag of Alder for the great Chinook Salmon of the Pacific Northwest. That is the only thing I am not open to change on.

I am thinking Todd's "Pitmasters Choice" will cover all my bases on anything else, what do you all think?

PC is a very good mild smoke flavor that won't over smoke anything.... A very good all-around smoke flavor....

Thanks Dave..Think that is going to be my decision. Doing a 2 racks of St Louis ribs with Pitmasters Choice tomorrow!

I just got a bag of Cookin'Pellets brand on amazon.com. It's called the perfect mix and is a blend of hickory, oak, apple, an cherry. Did my dry run on my MES 30 and it smelled great, burned clean. They are really inexpensive comparatively. It was 33 and change for a 40 pound bag. I will be smoking some baby backs on Saturday with the AMNPS. Ill let you know how it goes! I believe they also have straight hickory pellets.

Let us know how they work. Are they 100% wood?

I will! Made a mistake. No oak in the blend... Maple instead. Here's the description...

Oak isn't bad. I use alot of oak. It is a nice mild flavor.

I like oak too. Love it with bone in pork loins. Not sure why no oak or alder would be a selling point. Are they less expensive woods? Or do some brands day they are hickory for example, but fill with oak?

 

[pc farmer]

Don't know. Maybe alot of people think of oak is used just for heat in stick burners.

I have never seen Oak chips or pellets anywhere in my neck of the woods.  In fact, they do sell pellet smokers around here, but no pure one wood pellet.  About the only pellets I have seen around here are for pellet furnaces.  They sell most other style of wood chips, maple, hickory, apple, pear, whiskey barrel, Mesquite, cherry and few others up here.
