Where can I find pellet reviews?

[gabes]

I have not been able to find on any website where BBQ pellets made by the different manufacturers are independently tested, characterized and rated.  I realize that there would be some subjectivity in those ratings, but even if the results would point out what pellets should be avoided (low quality) would be a starting point.  There are plenty of conversations about what folks prefer based on their own usage, which is a good start, but have pellets had any type of comprehensive testing?

Do you mean cooking pellets for a pellet pooper or smoking pellets for a chip tray or AMNPS??

Cooking pellets for a pellet pooper.

There have been quite a few threads in this forum about that very subject. While not technically a "review," quite a few members did compare and contrast their experience with different heating chips. Some of the threads had headings that were specifically concerned with the filler and binder used in Traeger chips. Let me see if I can find one of those ...

... the forum search feature is really quite good. You definitely should try it. Here is the result from a simple search:

From those results, here are two you definitely should read:
