Searched Sam's Club online and could not find any Smoke House Pellets... Simple Google search :4.5 stars - https://myhomeproduct.com/best-wood-pellets/
I would try it but... once again - this product is not found on Sam's club online...
I haven't used their pellets, but I do use their wood chunks. Keep in mind that the pellets they are selling are going to be a blend of the wood stated, along with a majority of either oak or alder. If you're ok with a blend, then that's a good price.
Not sure why there not on their web site but they definitely were in the store. At least 20 bags on a pallet! Looked like a good buy. What Sam's had was a blend but their web site shows several different kinds of single wood!
Right. Those are ALL blended with alder. I've said this before but it bears repeating. If the bag lists the species but only says 100% hardwood, then it's not a 100% flavor wood pellet. There are only a few companies that make 100% flavor wood pellets, and you can bet that they will tell you that prominently on the bag.
But again, Smokehouse sells good products and that's a great price, so try a bag and see if you like it.
LumberJack, Smoke Ring, and Cookin' Pellets are the only ones that come to mind right now. I'm sure there are more and I'll post back when I remember, if nobody else does.
I highly recommend CookingPellets Hickory, Perfect Mix, & Black Cherry. All 3 of those pellets have excellent aroma while cooking and flavor to match. I plan to try Lumberjack brand in the near future after I finish burning through this bulk order I have from CookingPellets but to be honest I doubt I find a better pellet than the ones I'm using now. Very pleased with the quality of CookingPellets.
I just ordered a few bags of the Lumberjack 100% hickory to try. Found it online at Dick's for a decent price (and I had a coupon). If it is as good as people are saying I will jump on one of those bulk deals someone posted. There is a pickup spot about 30 min from me!
I also saw "Char Hickory" which is actually carried in store near me. anyone try that Lumberjack pellet?
I have used the char-hickory LJ pellets. I personally don't get a "hey that's charcoal" essence from it, but do I get a spicier profile from it.
I usually have a bag of it to mix it with the regular 100% hickory LJ.
I'm lucky to have a Rural King close to work, usually $9.99/20lb.
The start-up smoke show might be a little heavier with it. Which is nice when it's time to dominate the neighbors on a Saturday.
I've never understood why those of you that are lucky enough to live near a Rural King end up going to Dick's and price matching instead of just going to Rural King!
I’m in Washington.....there is no rural king anywhere near that I know of....so perhaps that can explain the mystery. Getting the bags for 8.88 is much easier than coordinating a group buy for more.
If I had rural king near me I would go there without a doubt.
