Featured Smoker pellets to buy

[GIJOE007]

I’ve just started smoking with a vertical pellet smoker. I’m reading that YOU MUST use quality wood pellets. Does anyone have suggestions as to the best I can buy?
Thanks

+1 for lumberjack

These are the best I have used, but it's hard to beat the $9.00 price of Lumberjacks from Rural King, Dick's will price match the L.J. pellets if you show them the R.K. prices.

But these burn hotter and cleaner, by far the best I've used, but they are three times the price of L.J's.

Some of us use a combination: a good pellet like Lumberjack in the hopper and a smoker tube or tray of a premium pellet like CookinPellets. You get the best of both worlds.

Lumberjack, for sure, but I also use KnottyWood plum for amazing color. Also CookinPellets apple mash for extra apple goodness.

Another Lumberjack vote. I like them better than anything else I’ve tried.

I’m in the lumberjack camp. Can’t always get them, but definitely preferred!

OK, OK, I'll try them too! Had always intended to anyway, so thanks for the nudge!

I have had good luck with Pit Boss pellets - definitely avoid the overpriced Traeger pellets IMHO :)

Wow. I did find a guy who sells LJ here. at the wholesale price but he has limit inventory. So I bulk purchased from cookingpllets and got a decent price

LumberJack, B & B, Pit Boss, CookinPellets all have worked well for me and the LJ are $9 for a 20# bag @ Atwoods. I know CookinPellets & Lumberjack use 100% of the type wood used and mix oak with their "blends" like most others. I've had great results with Lumberjack.

Lumberjack is my go to, as well. I have used Kingsford cherry and hickory, and thought they were decent, and I buy a bag of Pit Boss when that's all I can get.
